Simone Biles Reacts to Ilia Malinin's Disappointing Olympic Falls: 'I Know What He's Going Through'
Biles struggled with the twisties during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics
Ilia Malinin is the biggest story of the Winter Olympics for all of the wrong reasons as questionable ice conditions continue to plague the United States.

Ilia Malinin posted a video on social media Monday juxtaposing images of his many triumphs with a black-and-white image of the U.S. figure skater with his head buried in his hands, and a caption hinting at an “inevitable crash” amid the pressure of the Olympics while teasing that a “version of the story” is coming on Saturday.
