Where did it all go wrong for 'Quad God' Malinin?

Shellshocked, the 21-year-old known as the 'Quad God' for his ability to land every four-rotation jump including the complex quad-axel left the rink with his head in his hands on Friday. Not only had the gold gone, he missed the podium altogether, finishing eighth. Taking to the ice at Milano Ice Skating Arena with a comfortable five-point lead after the short programme section, Malinin endured a nightmare four-minute free skate in which he fell twice and lacked the breathtaking speed which had made him unbeatable for over two years.
