On the heels ?of Ilia Malinin¡¯s shocking collapse at the Olympic Games that he said was caused by pressure and the magnitude of the moment, the American heads to the world figure skating championships with one mission in mind: redemption.
The double world champion arrived at the Olympics as one of the overwhelming favorites for gold among all the sports having not lost in more than two seasons. But he crumbled under the weight of ?expectations, and his free program?unraveled in stunning fashion as he fell twice and nailed only three of his planned seven ?quadruple ?jumps to finish eighth.
¡°I¡¯m looking forward to getting myself that redemption competition,¡± Malinin told Olympics.com. ¡°I¡¯m definitely looking ?at that and I can be satisfied with it if everything goes well.¡±
