The women's singles program of figure skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics has all ended, and Vallieva, a 15-year-old talent from the Russian team, temporarily ranked first with a total score of 82.16. Due to the previous ban, Vallieva burst into tears after ending her performance. It can be seen how much pressure this little girl is. However, the outside public opinion on Vallieva continues. In particular, the coach of the American team directly questioned Vallieva's comeback, saying that such a game was a joke and had no fairness.
Vallieva is the most talented and stable of the "three children" in the Russian figure skating industry. At just 15 years old, she has broken records again and again, and she currently holds three world records for women's singles short program, free skating and total score.
In the previous team competition, Valieva performed perfectly and made great contributions to the Russian team's victory. However, the award ceremony for the team event was postponed because Vallieva tested positive on a drug test last December, and the test results came out on the day of the end of the team competition at the Winter Olympics.
After that, K Bao was banned by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency because of drug problems. However, a day later, Vallieva lifted the ban, which also made the IOC very dissatisfied. The IOC, together with the International Skating Federation and the World Anti-Doping Agency, appealed to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport to reinstate Vallieva's ban. But in the end their appeal failed, which also meant that Valieva would be able to compete in the women's singles competition.
The women's singles short program was held on the 15th, and Vallieva, who was under great pressure, insisted on appearing. Despite her mistakes in the competition, with the overall super difficulty, she still received 44.51 technical points, 37.65 program content points, and ranked first among all the contestants with a total score of 82.16.
After the performance, K Bao could no longer hide her emotions, she covered her face with her hands and kept sobbing. In the past week, she has faced numerous questions, not to mention her ban, and the International Olympic Committee has even publicly stated that even if Vallieva wins the women's singles title, it will not hold an award ceremony for her. It can be seen that the 15-year-old K Bao is carrying what kind of pressure to complete this game.
The K treasure in the tearful arena is really sympathetic. Still, skepticism about her continues. Adam Lippon, the coach of American figure skater Bale, expressed his dissatisfaction with Vallieva's participation on social media. He wrote: "I was so angry, so sorry, the women's singles competition became a complete joke, it is not really a competition at all. Women's singles tournaments can't even hold award ceremonies, and for those athletes who are level playing, their Olympic experience is deprived, go to TM! ”
It is worth mentioning that Adam Libang was also an athlete, and she won the team bronze medal at the last PyeongChang Winter Olympics. In fact, in addition to Adam Lee-bang, South Korean figure skater Kim Yeon-na also angrily questioned, saying: "Athletes who violate doping regulations should not participate." This provision should be strictly enforced, with no exceptions. The efforts and dreams of all athletes are equally precious. ”
