Eileen Gu has become the first-ever freestyle skier to win three medals at one Winter Olympics after storming to victory in the women’s halfpipe final.

Thomas Bach has hit out at the treatment meted out to Kamila Valieva, calling the behaviour of the 15-year-old's entourage «chilling». Coach Eteri Tutberidze’s first words to Valieva on her exit from the ice rink after she lost out on a medal in the ladies’ singles were to ask her, “why did you let it go?” Ad/> Valieva was the focus of all the build-up to Thursday’s free skate and had the pressure of the world’s attention on her as she skated on following the revelation that she failed a doping test on December 25.

Kamila Valieva's Beijing Olympics doping controversy took a fresh twist Wednesday after media reported that the Russian skater had three substances used to treat heart conditions in the sample which triggered the scandal. The 15-year-old figure skater topped the short programme on Tuesday to put herself in prime position to win the women's singles competition when it concludes on Thursday, bursting into tears afterwards and refusing to talk to journalists. Valieva's case has overshadowed the Olympics after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that she should not be suspended despite failing a drugs test in December, although she has not been cleared of doping and still faces further investigation.
Tensions were evident between the International Olympic Committee spokesman and one of his counterparts at the Beijing Organising Committee on Thursday as both answered thorny questions from local and international journalists at the Winter Olympics daily press briefing.
