MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Friday it disagreed with Olympic chief Thomas Bach's assessment of events surrounding Russian teenage skater Kamila Valieva, after the International Olympic Committee president hit out at her entourage.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach has revealed that an age limit could be imposed for athletes following the Kamila Valieva doping scandal.
Kamila Valieva, the teenager at the centre of a doping scandal that has shaken the Beijing Olympics, finished fourth in the women's figure skating final on Thursday after an error-strewn performance handed Russian teammate Anna Shcherbakova gold. Shcherbakova scored 255.95 overall to seal the title, while Valieva, who was allowed to compete despite failing a doping test before the Games, fell several times and slipped out of the medal positions in Beijing. It was a major upset for 15-year-old Valieva, who looked completely broken at the end of her programme.
The Kamila Valieva furore at Beijing 2022 has sparked discussions around a minimum age limit at the Olympics, IOC president Thomas Bach said on Friday. A distraught Valieva, 15, finished off the podium in the ladies’ figure skating singles on Thursday after an intense week and a half in the spotlight. Ad/> Valieva tested positive for banned heart drug trimetazidine but was cleared to compete by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), partly because she was a “protected person” due to her age.
Anna Shcherbakova has spoken of feeling an «emptiness inside» after winning figure skating gold while her team-mates, Kamila Valieva and Alexandra Trusova, were left upset at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. A distraught Valieva missed out on a medal after a series of heartbreaking falls during her routine as Shcherbakova took the victory ahead of Trusova, who was shown to be furious with the result.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach has criticized Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva's entourage for their “tremendous coldness” toward the 15-year-old skater after her mistake-filled free skate at the Beijing Olympics.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach has launched a scathing attack on the team behind Kamila Valieva, the 15-year-old figure skater at the centre of a drugs probe who wilted under the global glare of the Winter Olympics in Beijing on Thursday night.
In the hours after her Olympic victory, figure skater Anna Shcherbakova was still letting the moment sink in.
