I’m so pleased to see her back out on the ice.

My knees were hurting watching that!” It was a brilliant return from the 17-year-old, who captured headlines after an angry outburst in the immediate aftermath of winning silver in the ladies’ singles after performing five quads in the free skate. She was heard to say: “I will never go out on the ice again. Never! I hate! “It's impossible! You cannot do it this way! I'm not going to the awards! Everyone has a gold medal! Only I don't! I hate it all!" Her outpouring of emotion came in the wake of the Kamila Valieva doping scandal, with the 15-year-old also in tears after dropping from first to fourth in Thursday’s free skate.
