There will be no medal ceremony for the women's singles figure skating at the Beijing Olympics if Russia's Kamila Valieva finishes in the top three, the IOC said on Monday. There will also be no ceremony for the team event, won by Russia last week with 15-year-old Valieva playing a starring role.
Russia's Kamila Valieva placed top in the Olympic figure skating short programme Tuesday, after being allowed to compete despite testing positive for a banned substance before the Games. The 15-year-old scored 82.16, and goes into Thursday's decisive free programme with a narrow lead over her compatriot Anna Shcherbakova, who came second with 80.20.
Russian teenager Kamila Valieva skated at the Beijing Olympics for the first time on Tuesday since sport's top court cleared her to compete despite failing a drugs test, bursting into tears at the end of her performance. Wearing an off-shoulder purple dress, the 15-year-old was cheered by the crowd when she emerged to warm up on the ice for the short programme of the women's singles figure skating, in which she is the favourite for gold.
The gold medallist said she felt empty. The silver medallist pledged never to skate again. The favourite left in tears without saying a word.
The president of the European Parliament has called for “immediate, quick, solid and swift action” in support of Ukraine, should Russia escalate the conflict.
Twenty years after Rhona Martin sent down her famous ‘Stone of Destiny’, Great Britain’s men’s curling team sealed a shot at Olympic gold with a nerve-shredding 8-4 semi-final win over the United States in Beijing.
Simona Halep continued her excellent start to the year by powering past Ons Jabeur and into the semi-finals of the WTA event in Dubai on Thursday, while Jelena Ostapenko saved a match point to edge out Petra Kvitova.
In the end it became one of the most uncomfortable, unpleasant moments of sport in recent memory.
