Fans want to know if Team USA figure skater Ilia Malinin has a girlfriend.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Malinin, known as the \u201cQuad God,\u201d looks to be saving his most difficult move, the quadruple axel, which is a 4 1\/2-revolution jump, for the individual free skate competition. He\u2019s the only person ever to land that jump in competition and the overwhelming favorite to win gold.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"Olympic<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As viewers saw in the team event, even if Malinin doesn\u2019t perform perfectly, the difficulty level of his routine gives him a record-high point value. He scored 108.16 in the individual short program, over five points higher than the second-place finisher.<\/p>\n

While the 21-year-old makes his performance on the ice look easy, what he\u2019s doing is absolutely extraordinary.<\/p>\n

To reach that level of technical mastery, however, comes sacrifice. As fans across the globe cheer on the U.S. figure skater who\u2019s coached by his parents, Tatiana Malinina and Roman Skorniakov, they also wonder if the young phenom has a girlfriend.<\/p>\n

\"US<\/p>\n

Ilia Malinin Doesn\u2019t Have Time for a Girlfriend<\/h3>\n

In addition to training for the Milan Cortina Olympic Games for six hours, six days a week, Malinin is a student at George Mason University. He\u2019s an exploratory studies major in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, per GMU.<\/p>\n

While he finds relaxation in skateboarding, video games, and art, there\u2019s no free time date, he told People magazine. Malinin is single.<\/p>\n

The Vienna, Virginia native started skating at age six. While his parents initially didn\u2019t want him to follow their footsteps into the figure skating world, intimately knowing the kind of sacrifices the sport takes, his talent was undeniable.<\/p>\n

\"USA<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first started skating, it was just going to be a recreational hobby,\u201d he said on USA Today\u2019s Milan Magic podcast. \u201cMy parents didn\u2019t want me to go into skating. They wanted me to see if I would find another passion because they knew, of course, the time, the effort, the dedication it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey went through all of this, all these troubles, sacrifices, and they were like, I don\u2019t think we want any more skaters in the family. But here we are, two skaters in the family now, and me coming up on my first Olympic Games. So I think it was kind of meant to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ilia Malinin Is Already Planning to Compete in the Next 2 Olympics<\/h3>\n

Malinin has earned comparisons to U.S. gymnastics legend Simone Biles, as he does things in competition that no one else can. The \u201cQuad God\u201d is unbeaten in his past 14 competitions dating back to 2023.<\/p>\n

Malinin\u2019s final combined score of 318.56 at the world championships in March was over 31 points higher than any other competitor.<\/p>\n

\"Ilia<\/p>\n

Brian Boitano, 1988 gold medalist, told ESPN, \u201cI [hope fans] appreciate what they\u2019re seeing with Ilia. It\u2019s like no matter how easy this looks, and no matter how effortless it might seem, if you put another guy, any other competitor, on the ice and asked them to do the same performance, they wouldn\u2019t even try it because they can\u2019t. \u2026 It\u2019s something that hasn\u2019t been done before and maybe won\u2019t be done again.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Malinin will get some much-needed rest after his run at the 2026 Winter Games, he has no plans to stop skating any time soon. He\u2019s already mulling over the 2030 Winter Games in the French Alps and the 2034 Olympics in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m playing everything by ear and how I feel just in general, and the passion I have for skating,\u201d he revealed on Milan Magic. \u201cSo who knows, might be a fourth or fifth (Olympics). I mean, we\u2019ll see how long I can keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
