MILAN, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Anastasiia Metelkina and Luka Berulava made history for Georgia on Monday, winning the tiny South Caucasus country's first Winter Olympic medal by claiming silver in the pairs figure skating event of the Milano Cortina Games.

Especially because anything can happen in figure skating, which was proven by Team USA men's star Ilia Malinin's disaster in the men’s figure skating event. This caused him to finish in 8th place despite being the favorite to win gold. Regardless of whether she wins a medal, 18-year-old Isabeau Levito is clearly enjoying her time in Italy.

The duo of Emily Chan and Spencer Akira Howe finished seventh, while team event gold medalists Ellie Kam and Danny O'Shea were two behind them in ninth

Ilia Malinin missed out on a medal in a stunning and dramatic men's figure skating final at the Winter Olympics today. The 21-year-old American fell twice in his final free skate to score 156.33 and finish eighth as Mikhail Shaidorov of Kazakhstan won gold.

With the team competition starting first, the physical and emotional cost can ripple right on through into the individual ones.
