Ilia Malinin Makes Surprise Move Off the Rink at Olympics

Ilia Malinin is front and center at the 2026 Olympics in Milan, Italy, and when he takes the ice, there's something different about his performance that has nothing to do with skating.

Malinin, who competes on Friday, Feb. 13, in the men's singles finals, already has a first in figure skating at the Winter Olympics, and it's a unique one. It has nothing to do with skating and everything to do with his voice.

The "Quad God" says he's the first person to ever use his own voice in a program, according to his research on the topic.
