Figure skater from Kazakhstan Mikhail Shaidorov sensationally won Olympic gold yesterday in men's single figure skating. Games favorite American Ilia Malinin — is only eighth.

The 21-year-old US citizen Ilia Malinin was considered the favorite for the Games, who was born into a family of Russian figure skaters Tatiana Malinin and Roman Kushnyakov, who competed in the USSR and Russian championships, and internationally for Uzbekistan.

Malinin led after the short program, however, he made a large number of mistakes in the free skate program, falling at least twice. The judges placed him 15th in the free skate program, the final result (short and free programs combined) — 8th place.

The Games champion was athlete Mikhail Shaidorov from Kazakhstan (silver medalist of the 2025 World Championship), he is also 21 years old.

Japanese Yuma Kagiyama won silver, third place was also taken by athlete Shun Sato from Japan.

Mikhail Shaidorov performed 19th in the free skate program, and Malinin last, 24th.

After his performance, the athlete who takes the lead sits next to the other skaters, and it was very interesting to watch Mikhail's emotions, who saw his rivals fall. At first, he couldn't believe he had won at least bronze, then silver, and after Malinin's low scores, Shaidorov was in shock.

On Sunday at the Olympics, the short program in pair skating will take place, on Monday — the free skate.

    У нас таксама была такая "нармальнасць" з алімпійскімі жалязякамі, а ў КЗ яна яшчэ лепей, бо там прыватны сектар не шчэмяць, нацыянальнае развіццё ідзе, баланс у знешняй палітыцы... Але за фасадам - тыя самыя аўтарытарызм і карупцыя, парушэнні правоў чалавека. Так што, спачатку трэба карэнныя перамены асноваў грамадска-палітычнага ладу, а потым будзе ўнармавана ўсё астатняе.
    п.с. добра адкатаўся, малайчына.

    Міхаіл Шайдораў нарадзіўся і жыве у Казахстане. І прынцыпова называе сябе казахстанцам, калі расіяне спрабуюць (як гэта звычайна бывае у іх адносінах да паспяховых людзей з "рускім" прозвішчам) "закінуць" яму расійскасць.
