U.S. Olympic Skater Receives Celebrity Support After Failing To Medal

Team USA figure skater Ilia Malinin has gotten some G.O.A.T support after failing to medal during competition. Malinin the back to back reigning World Champion was considered the favorite for the gold medal, but stumbled twice during his performance and ended up in 8th place.

The 21-year-old admitted to NBC’s Mike Tirico the pressure of the Olympics was more than he expected. "Usually, I feel like I'm in control and everything just lines up where it should be. But that time, it really just felt like it was speeding ahead of me, and I didn't have time to catch up and get back together."

Malinin shared "Everyone was there for me. I had so many different people reach out to me." He listed Tom Brady, Steph Curry, Simone Biles and Snoop Dogg among them. "I'm honestly just so honored for that, and I feel like it just made my day, honestly."
