Ilia Malinin is competing in two events at the 2026 Winter Olympics: the team event and the individual men’s singles event in figure skating.

Quick Scoop: What that means

  • In the team event , he skates:
    • Men’s short program (team)
* Men’s free skate (team)
  • In the individual event , he skates:
    • Men’s short program (individual)
* Men’s free skate (individual)

So overall:

  • Number of Olympic events he’s in: 2 (team + individual).
  • Number of programs (performances) he does: 4 total.

If you’re seeing talk like “four times on Olympic ice” in forums, that’s people counting all four programs, not four separate events.
