Ilia Malinin and Snoop Dogg: A Star-Studded Skating Spectacle

Ilia Malinin performed a breathtaking ice skating routine with signature jumps in Milan, where rapper Snoop Dogg served as an exuberant one-man judging panel, ahead of the Milano Cortina Games. Snoop, present as both a special correspondent and Honorary Coach for Team USA, engaged with Malinin in an off-ice chat.

Ilia Malinin showcased his breathtaking ice skating prowess, stunning the audience in Milan with gravity-defying jumps as part of his signature 'Quad God' routine. Adding an unexpected twist, rapper Snoop Dogg took on the role of an enthusiastic one-man judging panel, offering exuberant applause from the rinkside.

Snoop Dogg, famous for his engaging commentary during the Paris Olympics, described Malinin's performance as a 'Perfect 10,' raising all ten fingers to emphasize his point. The duo later conversed in the 'Kiss and Cry' area, adding to the anticipation surrounding the Milano Cortina Games which have just commenced this week.

Snoop, now an Honorary Coach for Team USA, actively participated in the event, even taking a ride on the arena's Zamboni. His dual role ensures he will bring his signature 'fun and funky' charm to the Winter Games. The figure skating competition begins with the team event on Friday.
