BREAKING: Kamila Valieva, the 15-year-old Russian skating sensation at the center of the Olympic doping scandal, lost out on the chance of a second gold medal
The young Russian figure-skating sensation Kamila Valieva, at the center of a huge Olympic doping fight, lost out on the chance of a second gold medal at the Beijing Games with an error-strewn free skate that saw her twice tumble onto the ice and out of the medals.
Her nerves destroyed, her program fell to pieces, the young Russian falling from first spot to fourth and Scherbakova claiming the gold ahead of teammate Alexandra Trusova.But it also means that the International Olympic Committee could, after all, hand out the women’s figure skating medals in Beijing—although Trusova had to be cajoled onto the podium as the medalists were handed Olympic mascots before tomorrow’s formal medal ceremony. “I hate everyone,” she was heard saying to a coach.
