The most attention-paid to this match is "K Treasure" Vallieva, 15-year-old she is not only the biggest favorite candidate to win the championship, but also because of the off-court ban storm. Vallieva was temporarily suspended after being detected in December 2021 on a test before the All-Russian Championships. After that, the temporary ban was lifted, and it was not until February 14 that "K Bao" Vallieva was allowed to continue to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and the outside world was also very controversial.

After the match, countless reporters pointed their attention at Vallieva, but she refused to be interviewed after the match.
The Russian and Austrian players who are teammates with Vallieva have also supported K Bao, and Sherbakova, who won the second place in the short program, said that the athletes who trained together in the whole group were very supportive of Valieva. As for other things, Sherbakova and others are not willing to respond too much.

It is used to treat the heart, but it is forbidden because it has the effect of improving endurance.
