Ilya Melinin dominated the competition in the short program.
The 21-year-old in his first Olympics put together a flawless skate, including two quadruple jumps.
He ended up with a score of 108.16.
That's more than five points ahead of his closest competitor, Yuma Kageyama of Japan.
That's a huge margin when it comes to figure skating.
He's in great position to win the gold on Friday when the free skate will take place.
Melanin, who has the nickname the Quad God because of his unparalleled ability to perform quadruple jumps, is expected to attempt six or seven in Friday's long program.
That includes what could be the first quadruple axel ever on Olympic ice.

The Americans dominated the game from start to finish, easily beating their Canadian rivals 5-0.
The U.S.
scored twice in the first period, two more times in the second, and once in the third.
Hannah Bilka scored two goals to lead the U.S.
It was the worst defeat ever for the Canadian women in the Olympics.
Still, this is only the preliminary round.
Both the U.S.
and Canada are expected to make it into the next round, and because they are the two most dominant teams in women's hockey, many expect there to be a rematch in the gold medal game.
The U.S.
and Canada have won every gold medal in women's hockey since it became an Olympic sport in 1998.
