On March 2, the International Skating Federation officially announced that figure skaters from Russia and Belarus did not qualify for the 2022 Figure Skating World Championships in Montpellier, France, on March 18, and all The Russian and Austrian athletes who won five figure skating medals at the Beijing Olympic Games did not qualify for the World Figure Skating Championships, including the Russian three-set doll, ice dance duo Victoria Siniccina/Nikita Kasarapov, pair skating Yevgenia Tarava/Vladimir Morozov, Anastasia Mishnah/Alexander Garimov.
According to the latest news on March 4, the Russian authorities intend to appeal to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport. But for now, Vallieva can only withdraw from the 2022 Figure Skating World Championships, even if the Russian-Austrian appeal is successful, she herself cannot participate in the World Championships, because she herself is different from Sherbakova and Trusova in that she is "involved in drugs".
K Bao was tested positive for banned cardiac drugs on December 25, 2021, and the IOC even postponed the award of medals after the team match was exposed. K Bao was once banned from participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics by the International Olympic Committee, but the International Court of Arbitration for Sport believed that she should decide whether to be involved in drugs after the competition was over.
However, the International Olympic Committee stated before the free skating that once K Bao entered the top three, the award ceremony would be cancelled, and she would not have medals or even golden ice piers, and finally K Bao chose to deliberately fall down in order to complete the two teammates. Originally, she could continue to play in the team in Sochi on March 5-8, but unexpectedly there was another ban, and everything was disrupted.
Because of the drug + ban, Vallieva fell into the rumors of early retirement, after all, it is unlikely that anyone in the Russian figure skating team with an incomparably serious internal volume has always occupied a pit position but cannot participate in world-class events. K Bao, who was born in 2006 and was not yet 16 years old, felt that there was only one way to retire.
Previously, K Bao's teammate Sherbakova revealed in an interview that she plans to transform into a part-time figure skating coach, Qianjin is 17 years old, if this time the World Championships can not participate, her career is about to come to an end.
I have to say that the Russian three sets of dolls are too unlucky, K Bao was banned after wading in drugs, Qian Jingui was the champion of the last World Championship + the Olympic champion of Xinke but did not have the opportunity to defend the title, Sasha is even more miserable, and there is no gold medal in the world-class competition.
