      ​@@Angiegonzalezb it's Russia. The ISU likes to kiss Russia's ass. Which is why the remaining Russian Olympic Committee team members (Mark, Victoria, Nikita, Anastasia, and Aleksandr) are still getting team bronze medals even after the disqualification of Kamila Valieva. Those defending Russia say that it's because even after rescoring and tossing out Kamila's results, they still beat Canada. Which is technically true, but morally wrong.

The judging was fucked up since they did not catch her flutzes, underrotation in her combination, and the obvious two footed landing (it was called but like -0.9???). You can see it in the GOEs that Adelina was being stacked with these point that she wasn't getting earlier 2 months before the olympics.

      If the positive A-sample would've been false positive we'd know. Any sample can be tested again, as you never use up all of the sample and can easily test another few ml.
      The B-sample was eighter never tested and just proclaimed "negative" or they had another person pee in a cup and put her name on it.

    • @nelliesmith5699
      @nelliesmith5699 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The point is to give athletes a second chance with the b sample to redeem themselves. There is a chance that the a sample might have been tested incorrectly so to corroborate that they test the b sample. If it shows up positive as well then that’s a definite drug use but if it’s negative that usually means there was a flaw somewhere when testing a. And because Russia tampered with everything single b sample there was no way to prove if their athletes were doping. And we’ll actually never be able to find out.

YOU are reaping what you sewed bc now every single time a russian athlete succeeds EVERYONE will invalidate the success by just assuming they cheated. that isn’t showing the might of a country, that’s PATHETIC. like a GOVERNMENT SPONSORED cheating program is so fking sad and just literally pathetic!! they want their athletes to succeed so that the russian people will feel even more national pride and then the russian government will be able to turn around and use what essentially are their government employees (bc sports are state sponsored) to distract the russian people and use the athletes as propaganda-ITS BREAD AND CIRCUS YALL.

      2)journalists make up drama about Eteri’s girl, after all it’s what’s getting all the attention. Paola here is hyping on Tutberidze team victimizing girls and savoring it, while the audience laps it up😂😂
      In reality former Eteri’s students are doing great after stopping their career. Lipnitskaya started her school, had a baby and skates in Pluschenko’s shows. Both Zagitova and Medvedeva work on TV and have lots of contracts, they skate in shows and make a lot of money. They also study, travel and enjoy their popularity. Medvedeva said recently she’s got “good human relationship with Tutberidze “. Trusova and Scherbakova haven’t finished their careers yet but if they do next season, chances are it’s because of the ban not because of “evil coach”. However, Anna said in an interview this month she is wishing to compete again.
      Kostornaya switched to pairs as everyone knows, so she’s not done yet and she’s in her 20-s. Kamila wants to keep skating (unless she’s banned, who knows?) She’s a huge star in Russia, she’s loved and respected and can skate for as long as she wants and she’ll be the star of any show. You see , drama and negativity is for the world to enjoy and the bloggers to hype on.

Like the KSU is again pushing for an investigation and Yuna Kim has now even more supporters to get her deserved medal. I think no one had it on their Bingo card, but here we are.

      Ideally, the ioc should reopen this case and investigate the A and B samples since it's still within the 10 year time frame. Will it really happen? The IOC seems to consider the case closed based on the B sample. Don't forget that she was cleared by rodchenkov which actually makes zero sense to me. It's more likely her samples were swapped but why did he say he didn't swap hers? Odd. But what if it was kamila's doctor who participated in that since he was the team doctor for the skaters? Anyway, I doubt anything would result from this but if they were to reinvestigate the samples, we would probably find out that she doped for real. In the end, karma is real and even if she isn't stripped of the medal, she'll forever remain a pariah in the sport.

It didn't matter that she was 15, the moral of the story was that she doped/was doped.

    First with Double Gold Medals, Kim Yuna, and Carolina Kostner
    Second, Adelina Sotnikova
    Third, Mao Asada
    Why Yuna and Kostner with gold? Because I think they both skated Gold Medal short and long programs.
    Why Sotnikova with silver? Because I think she skated good enough to get on the medal stand, In this case I give her silver because Yuna and Kostner skated so brilliantly.
    Why Asada with bronze? Because she skated such a brilliant Long Program and I want to acknowledge how well she did.

    I’m so tired of people saying that kamila is overscored just bc she has a full blade assist on her flip and lutz like that is NOT what defines being one of the best skaters. She has a lot more in her Bolero and In memoriam programs than most skaters. In fact, most skaters are unable to have that many transitions and that level of flexibility combined with strength. speed, height, distance, extension, strength, flexibility, interpretation… you guys turn a blind eye to other components of figure skating other than jumps.

    • @sirena3470
      @sirena3470 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Lutz and Flip are the hardest and highest scoring jumps in this sport apart from Axel. It is an indisputable fact that the elements you have listed are also important elements. But Kamila competes in women's single discipline, not ice dance discipline, so the most important element in her discipline is jumps. That's why it bothers people that the Lutz and Flip jumps of Kamila, in which she uses the wrong technique, get higher scores than the skaters who execute these jumps with the textbook technique. People just want to watch fair competition.

    • @MsJubjubbird
      @MsJubjubbird ปีที่แล้ว +1

      She is overscored. She skates slowly, the transitions are to hide it. She also skates on flat edges. All Eteri girls also nearly come to a stop when they jump (masked by transitions), use the momentum of their arms instead of the strength in their legs to get into the air and then land with a thud before taking time to skate away. She also has this lost mouse facial expression the whole time, which is not that artistic. Jumps are the highest scoring element and they're giving high GOE scores to someone who essentially is not only jumping with her training wheels, but can't even ride the bike correctly anyway.
