![Reporter describes Kamila Valieva's heartbreaking Olympic finish [CONTAINS SPOILERS]](/img/n.gif)
Someone should get a gold medal for procrastination.
Hard work & dedication versus cheating, where is the morality? What are we teaching our young - winning is everything, regardless of the cost? What happens to these young athletes after they win?
The IOC should get called out for dragging their feet to solve this issue. Champions of any level should not have to wait more than a year and still not get their awards. That is shameful and the IOC should not get away with it. It doesn't not take a year to investigate if someone has been using banned substances to make a determination whether or not to give out awards. All of the skating world should protest against the IOC for not getting off their feet and resolve this issue.
I saw team event, Vincent Zhou place 2nd, possibly Vincent got COVID , Nathan did it again win 1st place. ISU should gave USTeam two metals one is silver to give Vincent , snd one is gold to Nathan.
Yeah, they all cheated, just confirmed.
I'M praying hard that that Team Russia gets stripped of the Olympic Gold Medal in the Team Event and that the United States gets their much deserved Olympic Gold Medals!!
Out of everyone involved (directly or indirectly)/impacted in this sh*tty, messy situation from Team Russia, Team USA, Team Japan, and Team Canada (who would promoted to the bronze medal should Russia be stripped of the gold), I feel so sorry for everyone on Team USA, ESPECIALLY EVAN BATES, the Team Captain of Team USA who competes in ice dance with partner (and fiancee) Madison Chock!!
Imagine finally winning a medal (regardless of color) at your 4th Olympics (Evan competed in his 1st Olympics (Vancouver) with a different partner, the rest he did with Madison Chock) only to be told you got to wait a while (potentially years) to be presented with it because of an investigation, that has been going on way TOO SLOW, since someone on the winning team DOPED, claiming to have "ACCIDENTALLY" TAKEN HER GRANDPA'S HEART MEDICATION!!!
I feel somewhat bad for the other ROC athletes(Mark Kondratiuk, Nikita Katsalapov, Anastasia Mishina, Victoria Sinitsina, Aleksandr Galliamov) who skated clean and don't have a gold medal. If Kami was doped up during the Olympics, then yeah ROC shouldn't get the gold medal. Since she was a big part of it.
The Gold Medal belongs to America!
No , the gold medal belongs to the Russian figure skater! Why didn't they say this earlier, America couldn't take gold in women's skating, you weren't even third, it's very strange that the Americans decided to make a video about a child who was PRESSED! DISGRACE
@@kiloptyq The competition in question is the team event, not the singles event.
I blame the adults in Valeyeva’s life. (Did I misspell that?) Her performance was unbelievable. Truly the most beautiful skating I have ever seen. Her movements were exquisite. She was the most graceful, and flexible ballerina and athlete melded into one being. The tiny amount of the cardiac medicine did not help her to move her body that way. At best, it aided in stress management.
It was a heart drug to help with endurance and other things. Meaning she could practice and repeat her skates making them more polished, explosive, and so on…
Trimetazidine doesn't give Valieva her talent, obviously. I don't thin anybody denies how talented she was, but it makes a huge difference in endurance training. It majorly assists an athlete in doing more run-throughs per day, drilling more jumps per day, etc., which makes a big difference in consistency. Valieva was well-known last season not just for her spins and extension and her quadruple jumps, but for her consistency - apart from her 3A, which most people expected to be the jump to give her some trouble at times and even then at most a step-out, she almost never missed a jump. The more endurance an athlete has in training, the more consistent they are going to be, which is hugely important in figure skating. So the drug has huge ramifications. I agree completely that it is the adults who bear the blame, but this is still a matter of clean sport. It's sad really what the adults in Valieva's life did to such a talented athlete, but at the end of the day, a doping violation is a doping violation.
@@paulinayaeger9691 completely agree and unfortunately for her she competes at an adult, professional level. So she should be held to the same standards…
Valieva
Во время олимпиады она не принимала допинг. Он бы уже давно иссяк. Его на момент сдачи в декабре было 0,4 г. Что как бы не позволит любому человеку дать такую способность кататься. Если смотреть ее выступления, она каталась так всегда. И только тупой этого не заметит и будет видеть ее и ее команду
“What is wrong with you” again and again, seems like it’s really you.
Rest assured, Kamila will be exonerated and all this waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting and delays will have been for nothing. The USFSA will have a nice ceremony and they will get their silver medals. Kamila will continue to skate in Russia and be their skating darling. And the Russian Federation will continue to dope their athletes.
USA for gold. 🙂👍🏻remember, if they let Russi get away with this they have to let everyone get away with endurance enhancers. Then we'll all have the strength to keep pushing for quads and we'll be able to perfect them and we'll level the playing field lol. 😊
I thought the medal (s) we're given right there and than
No, in the Winter Olympics, they always give the medals out in a separate pavilion in the evening on the day the competition took place. So they only had the on-ice/mascot ceremony. The medal ceremony ended up being delayed a day because the men competing in the individual event had requested that it not be held the night before their competition began, so it was delayed one night. And then in the meantime, the doping violation came to be known.
The guy on the right
Cheating, probably
