Bursting into tears, this is one of the deepest impressions left on ice fans at the figure skating arena of the Beijing Winter Olympics on February 15.
Under great pressure, Valieva appeared in the last group, and the first jump of the opening, Valieva made a mistake.
Fortunately, she quickly adjusted and completed the whole set of movements steadily.
When the music ended, Vallieva covered her face with her hands and kept sobbing.
In the past week, Vallieva's fate has been full of ups and downs. First, he was temporarily banned by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency because of positive doping, and then lifted by the Russian side.
The three major institutions of the International Olympic Committee, the World Anti-Doping Organization and the International Skating Federation have collectively appealed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, demanding that K Bao's ban be reinstated.
After a seven-hour hearing, the Court of Arbitration for Sport rejected the appeals of the three major bodies, declaring that Valieva could participate normally.
The decision of the International Court of Arbitration for Sport caused an uproar, and the Russian media said that it was a just act, enough to prove that Valieva was innocent.
However, there are also many voices of doubt, especially american coaches and athletes.
Last summer, sprinter Shakari Richardson missed the Tokyo Olympics by testing positive for marijuana.
Seeing that Valieva's doping positive can still participate in the Olympics, Richardson questioned on social media: "Valieva was allowed to compete, all because of the color of her skin, I wonder what is the difference between me and her?" At the time, I was also a popular candidate to win the medal, I was because of my mother's death (smoking marijuana), in my opinion, the only difference between me and her, I was a young black woman! ”
American Bell, who competed with Vallieva, scored 65.38 points. Ranked 11th after the short program.
Bell's coach, Adam Lippon, once won a team bronze medal at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics as an athlete. For Vallieva's participation, Li bang posted on social media continuously, the mood is quite emotional, Li Bang wrote: "I am really angry, so sorry, the women's singles competition has become a complete joke, this is not really a competition at all. (Considering that Vallieva has a high probability of getting the top three) The women's singles competition can't even hold an award ceremony, and for those athletes who are level playing, their Olympic experience is deprived, go to TM! ”
American Lipinsky, who won the women's singles gold medal in figure skating at the Winter Olympics, also said: "I will always remember the moment when I stood on the podium holding the Olympic gold medal, which is very important to athletes. (It may not be possible to have an award ceremony) I was furious. ”
