Minerva Hase and Nikita Volodin of Germany took a sizable lead in the Olympic pairs figure skating short program in Milano-Cortina, topping a tightly contested field ahead of Monday’s free skate.

MILAN (AP) — Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara delivered Japan's first Olympic gold medal in pairs skating, earning a world-record score for their free skate on Monday night to climb from fifth after their short program to the top step of the podium at the Milan Cortina Games.

The three U.S. women who will be going for Olympic gold when their figure skating competition begins Tuesday night are role models for a whole new generation.

Especially because anything can happen in figure skating, which was proven by Team USA men's star Ilia Malinin's disaster in the men’s figure skating event. This caused him to finish in 8th place despite being the favorite to win gold. Regardless of whether she wins a medal, 18-year-old Isabeau Levito is clearly enjoying her time in Italy.

Ilia Malinin missed out on a medal in a stunning and dramatic men's figure skating final at the Winter Olympics today. The 21-year-old American fell twice in his final free skate to score 156.33 and finish eighth as Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan won gold.

Although it was not gold like they had hoped going into Monday's pairs figure skating final at the Winter Olympic Games, Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava made history for the country they represent. For the first time in history, Georgia has a medal at the Winter Olympics.

Russian figure skater Adeliia Petrosian says she is feeling "excellent" after a practice session at the Olympics with her controversial coach, seemingly dispelling injury concerns.
