Beijing 2022: Kamila Valieva fourth in Olympic skating as doping scandal takes toll
Kamila Valieva finished fourth in the Olympic women's figure skating final on Thursday after her error-strewn performance handed Russian teammate Anna Shcherbakova gold, as a doping scandal took its toll on the 15-year-old. Shcherbakova scored 255.95 to seal the title, while Valieva, who was allowed to compete despite testing positive for a banned substance before the Games, fell several times to slip out of the medal positions in Beijing. Another Russian, Alexandra Trusova, took silver, and Japan's Kaori Sakamoto won bronze.
