Ilia Malinin<\/a> had a clear path to the gold medal on Friday night \u2013 but that\u2019s why nothing is played on paper.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old American skating phenom<\/a>, who has been nicknamed the “Quad God” for his amazing leaping ability, failed to medal after being the heavy favorite to win gold, finishing in eighth place.<\/p>\n

Malinin connected on a quad-flip to start but then settled for a single axel. He then had a double loop instead of a quad loop, which was not exactly what he had hoped for.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was all downhill from there. Malinin then fell on a quad lutz attempt and then fell on another jump shortly after. He scored a 156.33, a far cry from his world record of 238.24 he set in December.<\/p>\n

Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan wound up winning the gold, with a total score of 291.58, a personal best. His 198.94 score in Friday’s free skate was also the highest of his career.<\/p>\n

Yuma Kagiyama of Japan got the silver, and Shun Sato, Kagiyama’s teammate, came away with the bronze.<\/p>\n

While on the bench, Malinin said that if he had been in Beijing four years ago, he would not have skated as poorly as he did. Malinin was 17 when he was left off the roster for veterans. That was a tell-tale sign of a mental battle, which Malinin confirmed it was almost immediately after he got off the ice.<\/p>\n

“I was not expecting that,” Malinin said. “Honestly, I can\u2019t process what just happened.”<\/p>\n

Milanin said he was actually “too confident it was going to go well.”<\/p>\n

When asked what his initial thoughts were when he came off the ice, he kept it real simple.<\/p>\n

“I blew it.”<\/p>\n

It won’t be all failures for Malinin, as he earned gold in the team event earlier in the Games. He also is only 21 years old with nine victories in international competition in his career career, so he has plenty of time to rewrite his story.<\/p>\n
