Figure skater Ilia Malinin finished eighth in the men's free skate at the Olympics. The 21-year-old wrote about online hate on his Instagram. "On the world's biggest stage, those who appear strongest can still fight invisible battles on the inside," wrote Malinin, who competes for the United States.

There was no gold for medal favorite Malinin in the men's individual figure skating competition.

On Monday, the star published a video clip on his Instagram and wrote:

"Even your happiest memories can be tainted by the noise. Vile online hate attacks the mind no matter how hard you try to stay sane through the endless, insurmountable pressure. Everything builds up as these moments pass before your eyes, resulting in an inevitable crash."
