A man who looks like that should not have such a moniker
Ilia Malinin, the world’s best figure skater, saved the United States in the figure skating team event, with a free skate filled with just enough quadruple jumps to live up to his nickname “Quadg0d.”
Ilia Malinin delivers knockout blow as U.S. wins team figure skating gold
Malinin bounced back from a shaky performance to beat out Japan’s Shun Sato in the men’s free skate to secure the gold for the United States.

Over the past few decades, scholarly consensus has grown that the so-called "panic" caused by Orson Welles' War of the Worlds was largely a myth produced by a newspaper industry attacking its newest competitor and faulty research methods in a Princeton study.
