Ilia Malinin has won many gold medals across different levels and events, but he has not won an individual Olympic gold medal as of the 2026 Winter Games.

Quick Scoop

To unpack “how many gold medals did Ilia win,” we have to separate three things:

  1. Olympic medals,
  2. World Championships, and
  3. other major events (Grand Prix, Challenger Series, nationals, juniors).

1. Olympic gold medals

  • Ilia Malinin did not win gold in the men’s individual event at the 2026 Winter Olympics; he had a disastrous free skate and finished 8th.
  • Kazakhstan’s Mikhail Shaidorov won the men’s singles gold at those Games.
  • Malinin is described as a 2026 Olympic Games team event gold medalist , meaning he owns an Olympic gold from the team competition, not from the individual event.

So, in Olympic terms:

  • Individual Olympic gold medals: 0 so far.
  • Olympic team event gold medals: 1 (2026 team event).

2. World and senior international golds

Ilia has built a huge collection of golds outside the Olympics. Highlights include:

  • World Championships : 2 golds (2024, 2025).
  • Grand Prix Final : 3 golds (2023, 2024, 2025).
  • Grand Prix series events : 7 gold medals in total across different Grand Prix competitions.
  • Challenger Series : 4 gold medals.
  • U.S. National Championships : 4 titles (2023–2026).

Those alone already put him well into the dozens of top‑level gold medals when you add up all the individual events he won to achieve those titles.

3. Junior‑level golds

Before dominating seniors, he also racked up golds as a junior:

  • 2022 World Junior champion (1 gold).
  • 2 Junior Grand Prix gold medals.
  • Additional junior/invitational golds like the International Challenge Cup and domestic levels.

4. Why you see different numbers online

Forum threads, news pieces, and fan discussions often quote different “totals” because they choose different cut‑offs: only Worlds and Olympics, only senior events, or “every gold he’s ever won including juniors and small internationals.”

If you literally add every first-place finish from his full competitive highlights table, the exact count depends on which events you include; the public summaries usually roll them into categories (like “seven-time Grand Prix gold medalist”) rather than giving one master number.

Plain‑language answer:

  • If you meant Olympic individual golds : Ilia Malinin has won 0.
  • If you meant Olympic gold of any kind : he has 1 gold from the 2026 team event.
  • Across all major competitions (Worlds, Grand Prix Final, Grand Prix, Challenger, nationals, juniors), he has dozens of gold medals overall, but no single, universally quoted “official total” number.
