Here's a snippet of reactions on Ilia Malinin's shocking loss in men's figure skating at the 2026 Winter Olympics from social media.

Ilia Malinin fell in the men's free skate program, ending his medal hopes. Lindsey Vonn crashed and broke her left leg during a women's downhill race while Liu Jiayu was injured in a crash in the women's snowboarding halfpipe qualifications.

U.S. skiing star Mikaela Shiffrin is determined not to let her struggles in Beijing four years ago hamper her efforts for gold at the Milan-Cortina Olympics.

Athletes from more than 90 countries will compete for Winter Olympic medals in 116 events over 16 days, and USA TODAY is keeping a tally of every nation finishing on the podium. Here's a look at the latest medal standings on the morning of Friday,

Until Friday, the American women had never beaten Canada — a perennial favorite that has medaled in every Winter Games since curling was added to the Olympics in 1998. The U.S. men beat the Canadians for the first time in the 2018 round-robin and again in the semifinals en route to their gold medal victory in Pyeongchang.

Malinin is the son of two Russian-born Olympic figure skaters, Tatiana Malinina and Roman Skorniakov, who competed for Uzbekistan at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, and the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City. They later moved to Virginia, where Ilia was born in 2004. He started skating at age 6.

The "Quad God" didn't look anything like himself. Ilia Malinin fell twice did not fully complete other elements of his typically unbeatable routine.

By the time he crossed the line, exhausted but smiling, the result carried more weight than just another gold medal. The victory gave Klæbo his third gold of these Games and pulled him level with the all-time record of eight Winter Olympic golds, joining legends like Bjørn Dæhlie and Marit Bjørgen.
