Thursday is the final day of men’s individual figure skating events at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. And it should be one for the ages. U.S. sensation Ilia Malinin takes to the ice later in the day for a must-watch men’s free skate.

Surya Bonaly successfully landed a backflip on one blade during the 1998 Winter Olympics despite knowing the move was banned.

The skater threw down a near-perfect short program filled with high-flying jumps and a jaw-dropping backflip to take a big lead.

Figure skating Ice dance Olympic medals are awarded tonight, and Team USA's Madison Chock and Evan Bates sit in second entering the free dance.

Ilia Malinin made history by becoming the first person to perform a backflip on the ice at the Olympics since it was made legal again two years ago
