Ilia Malinin highlighted mental health struggles during an emotional performance at the Olympic figure skating gala on Saturday as men’s gold medallist Mikhail Shaidorov got the crowd going to ‘Kung Fu Panda’.
Wearing a grey hoodie sweatshirt with ‘Fear’ written upside down Malinin symbolically swotted away comments which represented the negative impact of social media.
