American sensation&nbsp;<strong>Ilia Malinin<\/strong>&nbsp;lived up to his &#8220;favorite&#8221; status, carving out a five-point lead in a segment defined by gravity-defying quadruple jumps and artistic finesse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malinin, the two-time ISU World Champion, delivered an intense performance to \u201cThe Lost Crown,\u201d scoring&nbsp;<strong>108.16 points<\/strong>. Unlike his nervous outing in the Team Event last Saturday, Malinin looked completely settled, landing a quad flip, a triple Axel, and a massive quad Lutz-triple toe combination. He even treated the roaring Milanese crowd to his signature backflip, a move that highlighted his &#8220;autopilot&#8221; confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGoing out there the first time for the Team Event, I didn&#8217;t expect the Olympic pressure to be so much,\u201d Malinin admitted. \u201cBut today, I took a different approach\u2014just relaxed and let it cruise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Chasers: Kagiyama and Siao Him Fa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Malinin leads, the gap remains dangerously narrow. Japan\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>Yuma Kagiyama<\/strong>, the 2022 Olympic silver medalist, remains in striking distance with&nbsp;<strong>103.07 points<\/strong>. Despite a stumble on his triple Axel, his program to \u201cI Wish\u201d was a masterclass in skating skills and deep edges. Kagiyama remained unfazed by the score, noting that &#8220;short program scores don&#8217;t mean much&#8221; as he focuses on his recovery for the long program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Close behind in third is Frenchman&nbsp;<strong>Adam Siao Him Fa<\/strong>, who scored a personal best of&nbsp;<strong>102.55 points<\/strong>. His program, inspired by Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s \u201cVitruvian Man,\u201d justified his decision to skip the European Championships to focus on Olympic preparation. \u201cI\u2019ve never been so ready for a competition,\u201d Siao Him Fa said. \u201cTomorrow, I start from zero.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HIGHLIGHTS | FIGURE SKATING | Men&#039;s Single Skating Short Program | #MilanoCortina2026\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_Xtm5uTmdBc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u00a9 YouTube\/ Age of Sports<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home Hero and Rising Stars<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The local crowd had plenty to cheer about as Italy&#8217;s&nbsp;<strong>Daniel Grassl<\/strong>&nbsp;finished in a strong fourth place (93.46 points). Grassl, inspired by his recent bronze medal in the Team Event, landed a quad Lutz-triple toe and a rare quad loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kazakhstan\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>Mikhail Shaidorov<\/strong>&nbsp;followed in fifth (92.94 points) with an evocative performance to the \u201cDune\u201d soundtrack, while South Korea\u2019s&nbsp;<strong>Junhwan Cha<\/strong>&nbsp;rounded out the top six with 92.72 points. With the top three skaters all breaking the 100-point barrier, Friday\u2019s Free Skating promises to be an all-out battle for the podium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ultimately, Ilia Malinin has put the world on notice\u2014but with Kagiyama and Siao Him Fa breathing down his neck, the race for Olympic gold is far from over.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/news\/florida-panthers-carolina-hurricanes-game-5-recap-may-28\">article <\/a>on <a href=\"https:\/\/isu-skating.com\/figure-skating\/news\/malinin-skates-to-five-point-lead-in-spectacular-mens-short-program\/\">isu-skating.com<\/a>, published February 10, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Achieve More With VSA: Boost your skills with world-class coaches for just $29\/hour.
