Mikhail Shaidorov

His biography is available in 19 different languages on Wikipedia. Mikhail Shaidorov is the 225th most popular skater, the 115th most popular biography from Kazakhstan and the 2nd most popular Kazakhstani Skater.

Mikhail Shaidorov is most famously known as the Kazakhstani figure skater who won gold in the men's singles event at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, delivering a stunning upset performance with four clean quads and a season-best total score of 291.58 to claim Kazakhstan's first-ever Olympic gold medal in figure skating and the nation's first Winter Olympic gold since 1994. He is also a 2025 World silver medalist, 2025 Four Continents champion, and pioneer of groundbreaking jump combinations like the first triple Axel-quadruple toeloop and triple Axel-Euler-quadruple Salchow in competition. Surprisingly, despite entering the Olympics as a relative underdog after an inconsistent season and nearly quitting skating as a child to pursue artistic gymnastics instead, the 21-year-old from Almaty (son of a former national champion coach) shocked favorites like Ilia Malinin—who faltered with falls—and became a national hero overnight.
