Even if youre not into sports, youd have to be keeping well clear of the headlines to have not heard about the 2026 Olympic Games team event gold medalist, two-time World champion, three-time Grand Prix Final champion, seven-time Grand Prix gold medalist, four-time Challenger Series gold medalist, and four-time U.S. national champion American figure skater, Ilia Malinin. Nicknamed the Quad God for his unrivalled ability to perform the extremely difficult and dangerous quadruple axel, something no other figure skater has been able to achieve in an international competition ever Malinin recently let slip that the secret sauce is to embrace feline energy.Always Land On Your FeetDespite being the clear favorite heading into the mens individual event, Malinin missed out on a spot on the podium after suffering two falls during his routine. The disappointment has highlighted the immense pressure faced by elite athletes, particularly when carrying the weight of such high expectations. But rather than shy away from this painful aspect of competition, Malinin has used his social media platform to share and reflect, raising awareness about the effects of fame, success, and the inevitable crash that accompany them, on mental health, teasing the release of a video on February 21st that will tackle these issues.In a recent interview, he told CBS News Correspondent @jonathanvigliotti that the trick to his success in his sport lies in making it look easy.The best way to land is like a cat landing, like really softly, and being able to kind of transfer that weight from all the way spinning up here to kind of make it look like that its so easy so effortlessly.When hes not defying gravity on the ice, Malinin is just like any 21-year-old, enjoying video games, skateboarding, parkour, and art. He is also a self-proclaimed cat dad to Mysti and Miu Miu, who joined his family in July 2025. With Malinins star shining brighter than ever, photos emerged this week of one of his beloved kitties sporting a gold medal and a heart-melting dedication from the figure skater, with many claiming it was Malinins Olympic medal. However, contrary to what some would have you believe, Mysti has not accompanied her human caretaker to Milan, Italy, and the impressive bit of bling around her neck is not from the 2026 Winter Olympics.While the image above has been widely credited to Malinins Instagram account (@ilia_quadg0d_malinin), it does not appear on the athletes feed, nor is the medal pictured from this years Winter Olympics, so we believe this is actually from a previous competition. However, the sentiment is still a wholesome and lovable one, and we are certain that Mysti deserves every ounce of recognition headed her way! We hope that this Quad God and his QuadCats will continue to land on their feet.Feature Image Credit: NBC SportsDid You Know? Our brand-new posts are rounded up and included in our weekly emails.
