Fans are concerned after it was revealed that videos with vulnerable messages were reposted by "Quad God" Ilia Malinin on TikTok.

The 21-year-old had a clear path to win the men's singles skating gold medal Friday night, but after falling twice, he settled for eighth place.

Malinin was blunt about his performance when speaking to NBC afterward, saying simply, "I blew it," and it was a clear mental hurdle from start to finish.

Afterward, Malinin reposted several TikToks, including one with the message, "Sometimes I wish something bad would just happen to me so I don't have to do it myself."

Another video had the message, "Your little boy is tired mom."

Malinin also shared posts from "Healing Letters," an account that writes messages in a book. One said, "When I get home and step into my room and my eyes start watering because no one knows how hard I'm truly trying."

Another one said, "Nothing hurts more than trying your best and still not being good enough," and the book was slammed shut.

U.S. Figure Skating did not immediately respond to a request for comment after fans showed concern and support throughout the comments.

"YOU DID SO WELL ILIA, YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!!! I LOVE YOU," one user wrote.

"Ilia :( I Hope he is okay…" added another.

"You are still a champion, Ilia Malinin One result doesn’t define your talent or your strength. We’re proud of you no matter what place you
