He lost almost 72 points on those unexpected jumping mistakes, Tara Lipinski, the stunned commentator and 1998 Olympic women’s champion, said on air.

Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan (291.58 points), put his hands over his mouth in disbelief when he realized he had won the gold medal, climbing from fifth place after the short program to the overall champion.

Shun Sato of Japan took the bronze medal with 274.90 points.

He is the former Soviet republic’s first Olympic figure skating champion and only its second gold medalist in any sport at the Winter Games since the country first competed as an independent nation in 1994.

Yuma Kagiyama (280.06 points) of Japan, who had been expected to challenge Malinin for gold, won silver for a second consecutive Olympics when his own error-filled performance was buoyed by Malinin’s crumbling.

He landed a quad lutz, the second most difficult four-revolution jump, but downgraded a quad loop to a double loop and then fell on a second quad lutz.

It involves a forward takeoff and thus requires 4½ revolutions in the air.

Only Malinin has completed the jump in any competition.

Malinin, 21, imploded in a shocking collapse, succumbing to the enormous pressure of his first Winter Games and finishing an incomprehensible eighth.
