History was made today, but it came with so much heartbreak. โธ๏ธ A monumental day as Mikhail Shaidorov claims Kazakhstan’s first Olympic gold in menโs figure skating. Watching Ilia Malinin deal with that unimaginable pressure was so hard to see, but his grace and sportsmanship toward Mikhail proves heโs a champion in every way that matters.

This makes me proud of this young man. His heart is broken, he didn't win, but he can hug the winner, and mean it! There's some "leaders" who should watch and learn, if capable. Remarkable young men!!
Definitely not first

Shaidorov landed 5 QUADS flawlessly, two of them in combination, and the opening combo was a super rare Triple Axel + Quad Salchow. His components were great. He wasn't less skilled than Malinin. And most importantly, he had the nerve and landed all those quads. HE DESERVED TO WIN. Such a huge champion โจ I hope Ilia will be back soon, but don't ever think that Shaidorov was inferior, because he is actually GREAT. Period.
The best moments of the Olympic gamesโค๏ธโค๏ธ
