HuffPost
The "Quad God" opened up about what he wants to use as "fuel for the future" following his heartbreaking mistakes in the free skate.
U.S. figure skating phenom Ilia Malinin on Wednesday said he’s optimistic that he can move past his disastrous performance in the free skate last week.
“The person who came [to the Winter Olympics], he’s been turned into dust,” the 21-year-old “Quad God” told The Washington Post.
“I came out a different person [with] a different perspective, different mindset.”
Just days after his free skate mistakes, Malinin took to social media, sharing a dark message where he suggested he was “fighting invisible battles on the inside.”
“I honestly felt like I’ve aged a lot through these Olympics,” he told the Post.
