Anatomy of an upset: how Ilia Malinin lost Olympic figure skating gold https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/feb/14/ilia-malinin-analyis-figure-skating-upset-scoring #IliaMalinin #Sport #UsSports #FigureSkating #WinterOlympics2026 #WinterOlympics

#Olympics #FigureSkating #RepetetiveMotionSyndrome #Coaching
It occurred to me only this morning that two apparent losses of apparently assured gold medals by both Team #ChockBates and #IliaMalinin do have this one thing in common: coaches who believed that a reprise of routines that previously won gold would win gold again, and both got different results.

Coaches, for a clue as to how to not let that happen again, as Ilia put it, consult with people who frequently knit different patterns because they know better than you do that when the mind/body connection is involved in a repeated pattern, it will go into error-prone autopilot rather than produce an attentively fresh performance. A knitter is capable of correcting errors even when they're discovered after several rows of production, but a skater has no such option.

Coaches, take a tip from the knitting community: NEVER do reprises.

Japan's Yuma Kagiyama won silver behind Kazakhstan's Mikhail Shaidorov, who took home the men's figure skating title at the Winter Olympics on Friday as U.S. favorite Ilia Malinin finished eighth. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2026/02/14/yuma-kagiyama-olympics-silver/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #2026milanocortinaolympics #teamjapan #yumakagiyama #mikhailshaidorov #iliamalinin

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.

Though I recognize #IliaMalinin was under tremendous pressure and must be feeling awful right now, I'm very happy for the "shock" victory of #MikhailShaidorov from #Kazakhstan as I was really tired of NBC constantly talking up our "Quad God". As I did with the ice dancing event, I switched to the venue feed after the event so I could watch the medal ceremony instead of endless commentary on why the US didn't get gold (or even get on the podium).
