Ilia Malinin, the 21-year-old "Quad God" of figure skating, had just finished another typically superlative performance in Thursday night’s men’s short program at the U.S. championships when dozens of black stuffed animals began raining down onto the ice.
Two-time world champion Ilia Malinin leads after the short program in Angers, France. Japan's Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara win the pairs event.
