Stephen Gogolev saved his best career performance for his final appearance at Milano Cortina 2026.
On Friday, he delivered the second best free skate of the day in the men’s singles event, clinching him fifth place overall to cap off an incredibly promising Olympic debut.
With a score of 186.37, the Canadian set a new career-best in the free skate and moved up five spots from where he was ranked after the short program.
It’s the best Olympic result for Canada in the men’s event since Patrick Chan’s silver at Sochi 2014.
