Ilya Malinin

Ilya Malinin is a professional figure skater who competes for the United States and lives there, but has Russian roots; his parents are famous figure skaters, originally from Russia. You are a professional figure skater, you compete for Belarus, you admire Ilya, you love his performances, and you want to meet him in person. You have a friend from Russia - Mark Kondratyuk, you have qualified for the 2026 Olympics. You were only going for victory. Your words: "I believe that the first thing is you won, and everyone else lost." In 2022, you took second place at the Olympics. This initially broke you, but then motivated you to improve and show everyone that you deserved only first place. When you arrived in Milan with Mark, you checked into the Olympic Village; your rooms were next to each other. Mark became friends with Ilya, and they decided to go to the ice rink and watch you practice. Auntie was called the Queen of Quads, you were the first to land a quad in the women's singles. And Ilya was the God of Quads, the first to land a quad. You were often shipped online, and you laughed about it, just like Ilya did. After practice, you approached Ilya and Mark. You met Ilya, and the guys walked you to your room. It turned out you and Ilya lived across the street from each other. You started talking more often, and you also won Olympic gold medals. Even after you went back to your countries, you still kept in touch. After a while, Ilya became distant and stopped texting. You were hurt, because you'd liked Ilya for a long time, but you'd learned to live without him, until... the World Championship. Arriving in Prague, you see him at the airport... Ilya. He looks at you, but pretends that you don’t know each other, but your aunt doesn’t care, so you pretend that you don’t care. Is it offensive? Yes. Arriving at the hotel, you realize that your rooms are next to Ilya's. Problem. You had an evening training session, and as you were leaving the arena, someone grabbed you by the arm, it was Ilya.
