Let's turn to Informative Caption: "'Layers of the Games' shows, through the combination of multiple images from a fixed camera, the quickfire drama that unfolds in a game or a day of competition during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics Games." This is the men's long program, and as you can tell...a lot of people ended up laying down. ## Ilia Malinin of the United States, Short Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261054560-1771280562.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - February 10: Ilia Malinin of the United States performs his routine during the Figure Skating, Men's Single Skating, Short Program at the Milano Ice Skating Arena at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games 2026 on February 10th, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tim Clayton/Getty Images) People in the chat widely hated this but I thought it was sort of fun. I hate it when the men are dressed like they got whatever at Banana Republic. At least this is DOING SOMETHING. ## Ilia Malinin of the United States, Long Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261597046-1771280654.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - February 13: Ilia Malinin of the United States performs his routine during the Figure Skating, Men's Singles Skating-Free Skating competition at the Milano Ice Skating Arena at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games 2026 on February 13th, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tim Clayton/Getty Images) Someone in the chat called this Sparkly Vecna and it's all I can see now. I'm sure he DID feel like he was being tortured in the Upside Down during this meltdown. Poor Ilia, I really feel for him. (And apparently, the degenerate gamblers of the world who bet on him to win were highly abusive to him on social media. Get off your phones and get a real hobby, bros.) ## Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan, Short Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261074951-1771280580.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 10: Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan competes during the Figure Skating Men's Single Short Program on day four of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 10, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Jean Catuffe/Getty Images) Yes, this is LITERALLY a Dune costume -- down to the Chalamet hair. I'm not mad about this! ## Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan, Long Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261569400-1771280641.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 13: Mikhail Shaidorov of Team Kazakhstan performs during the Figure Skating Men Single Free Skating event on day seven of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 13, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Jean Catuffe/Getty Images) This is more Standard Male Figure Skating Costume but I do think the gloves are fun. He skated VERY well, it's thrilling that he managed this win. (He did get the silver at Worlds last year, so it's not totally insane. Just mostly insane.) ## Yuma Kagiyama of Japan, Short Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261067459-1771280571.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - February 10: Yuma Kagiyama of Japan performs his routine during the Figure Skating, Men's Single Skating, Short Program at the Milano Ice Skating Arena at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games 2026 on February 10th, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tim Clayton/Getty Images) This program is a JAZZY DELIGHT and this man is a treat of a person. It's perfect that his shirt almost appears to have musical notes on it. ## Yuma Kagiyama of Japan, Long Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261021761-1771280550.jpg) Yuma Kagiyama (Japan) competes during the Men's Single Free Skating Figure Skating competition on Day 7 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic games at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 13, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty Images) This is very pretty; he and Mikhail Shaidorov could have a Who Wore It Best. (And he's got to be devastated that he ALSO had a bad Free Skate, because he easily could have won here.) ## Shun Sato of Japan, Short Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261163922-1771280606.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 10: Shun Sato of Japan competes in Men's Single Skating - Short Program on day four of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 10, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tang Xinyu/VCG via Getty Images) Lots of Dark Pants, Sparkly Tops on the dudes this year. ## Shun Sato of Japan, Long Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261008931-1771280528.jpg) Japan's Shun Sato during the free skating men's single skating event at Milano Ice Skating Arena, on day seven of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Italy. Picture date: Friday February 13, 2026\. (Photo by Fabrizio Carabelli/PA Images via Getty Images) This is VERY low key, just one tiny step up from I Got This At Banana Republic. ## Andrew Torgashev of USA, Short Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2260416026-1771280519.jpg) TOPSHOT - USA's Andrew Torgashev competes in the figure skating men's singles short program during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games at Milano Ice Skating Arena in Milan on February 10, 2026\. (Photo by Gabriel BOUYS / AFP via Getty Images) "I'm ALSO One Sparkly Step Up From Banana Republic." (The two non-Ilia American guys did very well, all things considered.) ## Andrew Torgashev of USA, Long Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261021571-1771280541.jpg) Andrew Torgashev (USA) competes during the Men's Single Free Skating Figure Skating competition on Day 7 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic games at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 13, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty Images) "And I'm ALSO Fancy Vecna, Just Slightly Less So!" ## Maxim Naumov of the United States, Short Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261160472-1771280598.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 10: Maxim Naumov of the United States competes in Men's Single Skating - Short Program on day four of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 10, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tang Xinyu/VCG via Getty Images) This sweet man lost both of his parents in that terrible plane crash that killed so many people in the figure skating community and it's wonderful that he skated so well this past week. This is a perfectly reasonable costume and he facially looks a little bit like Tom Schwartz from Vanderpump Rules, a person who definitely could not do this. ## Maxim Naumov of the United States, Long Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261075332-1771280588.jpg) Maxim Naumov (USA) competes during the Men's Single Free Skating Figure Skating competition on Day 7 of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic games at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 13, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Ulrik Pedersen/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Basically just a color change on the shirt here. But bravo for him, I know his parents would have been incredibly proud and I hope he has a lot of loving supportive family and friends to hug him. ## Emily Chan and Spencer Howe of the United States, Short Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261859429-1771280672.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 15: Emily Chan and Spencer Akira Howe of Team United States compete in Pair Skating - Short Program on day nine of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 15, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tang Xinyu/VCG via Getty Images) They did, overall, better than expected! (USA pairs is not our strong suit.) This was a Mission Impossible skate and I feel like they could have been MORE spy-y. ## Emily Chan and Spencer Howe of the United States, Long Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261551458-1771280615.jpg) USA's Emily Chan and Spencer Akira Howe compete in the figure skating pair skating free skating final during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games at Milano Ice Skating Arena in Milan on February 16, 2026\. (Photo by JULIEN DE ROSA / AFP via Getty Images) This is where I tell you that TWO skaters used music from *Ghost: The Musical* this season. Needs more clay! ## Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea of the United States, short program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261947592-1771280712.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - February 15: Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea of the United States perform their routine during the Figure Skating, Pair Skating Short Program at the Milano Ice Skating Arena at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games 2026 on February 15th, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tim Clayton/Getty Images) They NAILED this program; he seems like such a nice person. A nice person who is not breaking Figure Skating Costume Boundaries, and that's okay! ## Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea of the United States, long program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261552656-1771280623.jpg) USA's Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea compete in the figure skating pair skating free skating final during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games at Milano Ice Skating Arena in Milan on February 16, 2026\. (Photo by JULIEN DE ROSA / AFP via Getty Images) This is also very non-groundbreaking but it also doesn't make me mad or offend anyone on a cultural level and sometimes that is enough. (Also: Hooray for them for getting a gold medal in the team competition, where they NAILED it.) ## Minerva Hase and Nikita Volodin of Germany, short program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261872770-1771280693.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 15: Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin of Team Germany compete in Pair Skating - Short Program on day nine of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 15, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tang Xinyu/VCG via Getty Images) He is, like many skaters, Secretly Technically Really Russian. (He's also handsome.) These are perfectly cromulent looks; she looks extremely pretty in red. ## Minerva Hase and Nikita Volodin of Germany, Long Program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261559609-1771280631.jpg) Germany's Minerva Fabienne Hase and Nikita Volodin compete in the figure skating pair skating free skating final during the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games at Milano Ice Skating Arena in Milan on February 16, 2026\. (Photo by JULIEN DE ROSA / AFP via Getty Images) And these are lovely, although if I recall correctly, the bottom of her leotard rode up a bit more than one might like; am I crazy or are ladies' figure skating costumes a bit cheekier than they used to be. ## Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava of Georgia, short program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261872713-1771280682.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 15: Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava of Team Georgia compete in Pair Skating - Short Program on day nine of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 15, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tang Xinyu/VCG via Getty Images) Speaking of people who are actually Russian! I love how many women are wearing pants, generally -- maybe five, over the two days of pairs competition -- but I dislike this costume on her and don't really understand it. (When they skated out, I was VERY worried it was going to be Culturally Problematic but I think it's just plain old bad because this is just to boring old Bolero. Yes, she spray paints her hair brown because she feels like Bolero requires brown hair.) ## Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava of Georgia, long program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2262016106-1771280721.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 16: Anastasiia Metelkina and partner Luka Berulava of Team Georgia compete during Pair Skating - Free Skating on day ten of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic games at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 16, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) This spin positioning is awful; Dick Button would have hated it. Folks in the chat thought these costumes were dated and I tend to agree. I also learned that they skated as juniors WAY longer than most people do, thanks to a weird technicality. I'm glad they didn't win the gold! ## Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Japan, short program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2261872813-1771280703.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 15: Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Team Japan compete in Pair Skating - Short Program on day nine of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 15, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Tang Xinyu/VCG via Getty Images) Here are your gold medalists! They seem LOVELY; they had a tough short program and he cried, then they came back and won and he cried again. It was very touching! This is a sort of creepy "Paint It Black" skate and I think their costumes work for that. ## Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara of Japan, long program ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2026/02/GettyImages-2262018558-1771280730.jpg) MILAN, ITALY - FEBRUARY 16: Riku Miura and partner Ryuichi Kihara of Team Japan react after competing during Pair Skating - Free Skating on day ten of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic games at Milano Ice Skating Arena on February 16, 2026 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Elsa/Getty Images) These are just classically pretty and this was an AMAZING performance -- as I mentioned in the previous slide, he SOBBED at the end, when they won. It was just wonderful for them -- and set a world and Olympic record with their score. Congrats!!!
