Aljona Savchenko, one of the world’s most decorated pair skaters and a gold medallist in Pyeongchang four years ago, has opened up on some of the traumatic events she experienced during her career. Savchenko was pairs champion alongside Bruno Massot in 2018 and won three Olymic medals in total as well as countless World and European trophies.
Former Olympic figure skating champion Aljona Savchenko admits she cried after seeing Kamila Valieva crumble on the world stage, saying “what happened must never happen again”. A distraught Valieva, 15, finished off the podium in the ladies’ singles after a catalogue of slips and falls, while her coach Eteri Tutberidze's first words to her were, “why did you let it go?” Ad/> Criticism is mounting on the Russian figure skating entourage after gold medallist Anna Shcherbakova admitted she “felt emptiness inside”, silver medallist Alexandra Trusova said she “will never go out on the ice again” and the cold response to Valieva’s plight.

In an interview with Eurosport, Rippon claimed Valieva was a «victim», hit out at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for going easy on Russia, said the adults around the athlete “completely failed her” and called for figure skaters to be barred from the Olympics until turning 18.
