#Google needs to drop its #AI commercial on #NBCSports featuring a #QuadGod search re: #IliaMalanin, which is inappropriate now & replace it with something else quick 🤦‍♂️

IMO, despite the slight "hot mic" gaff spoken in the moment, I think #Malanin (who is only 21) handled his melt down on the ice in the Men's Free Skate with amazing grace & maturity faced with questions not one of us would have wanted to answer in a similar situation.

If I happened to me, all I would have wanted to do would have been to run & hide & lick my psychic wounds BUT Malanin stood in front of cameras & reporters answering the painful questions without being defensive or reacting with antagonism (as #POTUS47 famously does when asked questions he doesn't want to hear or answer).

It will be a long 4 years to get back to the #Olympics but Malanin should make it back & I hope he will have conquered the yips & wins the Gold Medal the next time around.

But, yeah, until then, it would be best if he stopped referring to himself as the #QuadGod. LOL! 🤦‍♂️

Ilia Malinin’s road to 2030 begins with owning what went wrong at Milan Olympics

Other than a hot-mic gaffe in the kiss-and-cry area, the Malinin comported himself well after a disastrous free skate Friday night.

La gran sorpresa de Milano-Cortina 2026 llegó con el dramático desplome de Ilia Malinin.

El estadounidense, apodado “QuadGod”, perdió su invicto de dos años tras sufrir dos caídas fatales en su programa libre que lo hundieron hasta la octava posición.

Con un puntaje de 264.49, Malinin quedó fuera del podio, permitiendo que el kazajo Mikhail Shaidorov hiciera historia al conquistar el oro con 291.58 puntos.

The Winter Olympics are back: How figure skating works, explained by Ohio State skating club members

Vinnie DiNatale said there are two questions figure skaters often get asked:  “Can you do a triple axel?”  “Are you going to the Olympics?”  There is, however, much more to figure skating than those two questions, according to DiNatale, a second-year in food business management who has 16 years of ice skating experience and is […]
