The skater who won was from Japan. Her joy and excitement about her bronze medal was finally a happy moment in this horror story of women’s skating at these Olympics. That was something to feel good about.
Did you see the tears of Kamilla after her failed skating? Do you really think she failed it on purpose?.. Poor girl was not able to endure that pressure! She is only 15!
@@pulmo1 i don't believe in test results. I trust my own eyes more than wada, when I see american male-like women athlets & these gentle looking Russian skaters.
@@pulmo1 A 15 year old being abused by her coaches and country, giving her a banned substance. It's the adults putting the pressure on and trying to abuse her. It's possible she was given supplements etc. daily and they just slipped it in. At any rate, taking TMZ was not the decision of a 15 yr. old, it was a decision of the adults in charge of her.
I think the years of the judges favoring Anna over Sasha finally got to her. It's always been blatant that they will give Anna more points than Sasha. Even more so when she moved to Plushenko. They will always give anna the higher goe and pcs to put her above Sasha even when Sasha is doing more quads time and time again. I think she finally just had enough of it and let her emotions come forward.
Anna is a better skater than Sasha... always was. Sasha stubbornly believes that quantity will beat quality. This has been going on for years and she still doesn't get it. She has not won a major start in 3 years. She is the queen of bronze medals.
@@defendersvacanandaigua6155 Anna's quality? Is this some kind of a joke? Flat/wrong edges on all of her lutzes and flips! Non of them was called , none of 7 attempts! Triple Salchow underrotatiin was also noticable for everyone, but nothing appeared in protocols! What about SP then? Sasha was gorgeous there, difficult jumps, beautiful spins and way harder footwork in her whole program than Anna's and yet she had the same components. From juniors Annas components raised by itself, whereas Sahsas almost stood in place despite the fact she got better in everything...Only a fool can't notice that. How Annas wrong lfat edges being called on her first big b competition magically disappeared after when no improving were made???? How can you explain this
Sasha is a history maker, leading the quad revolution for women. Today, she added a huge chapter to that history: 5 quads on the biggest stage of all 💗 Otherwise yes: A lot of mixed emotions due to the doping allegations and shadows from a the shady past.
I think Sashas “you knew” refers to eteri and her team probably telling her that she just needs to land all the quads and she can win. But the reality of how “low” her interpretation is being scored is something the team is more aware of than they are letting trusova know.
My heart aches for the beautiful skaters whose shining lights were dimmed by this scandal. The rush to judge Valieva by social and news media is unforgivable. They broke her. The adults surrounding her are responsible for her well being, to keep her safe, to keep her healthy, to keep her reputation untarnished. She is a child whose talents have been exploited. Where does she go from here? How does she mature into a young woman and leave this behind her? There are many stones unturned in this incident. Many who will be held accountable. To those who feel Valieva got what she deserved, I say this to you. Valieva's fall is a symptom of what is wrong with the sport, with the Olympics. If anyone is to be held accountable, there first must be a deep investigation into the entire sport and those responsible for training our talented athletes.
spoke right! This young woman didn't deserve all this exposure because it could end all the work of her entire life. Doping should not be accessible to the public to avoid exposing the athlete to humiliation and judgment.
She seems to be tougher than the other girls, at least phisically. Maybe, like Tuktamysheva, her career can last longer than the Eteri´s girls usual...
@@meenalchugh That would be her best shot at a gold if she is ever going to win one before expiration date comes. Sadly, it seems unlikely. After her outburst at Olympics, the judges are not gonna like her. She was on thin ice with the judges even before this happened.
Sakamoto was the one who won gold that night she skated consistently, no drama just a golden experience with an Olympic podium finish. She probably thought that she had not the slightest chance of placing but she did!
Sakamoto won bronce medal only because Kamila had the problem she had, and all that pressure, but if she didn't had that problems, Sakamoto never could have won a medal against Kamila or Anna o Sasha
I don’t think it was staged. Otherwise Kamila could have just not even go on ice. I think she’s not used to falling and after first mistake she just lost it. Because of all the bullying
Anna is a more complete skater who had a flawless skate...like...better than I ever would've thought. Sasha did a jump drill for 3 minutes and then made some cute gestures and faces for the last minute. The program was not cohesive. Besides, Trusova did win the FS.
Like Trusova's Triple A, social media conspiracists are more then likely wrong. Eteri would never send one of her girls out to fail. Trusova has said many times, no matter what, no matter what anyone tells her to do, she would continue jumping the Triple Axel, knowing that landing them could mean Olympic gold.
@@TheReneex Eteri most definitely didn't tell Kamila to tank anything, nor did she have to. The pressure got to her. If there was sabotage, maybe Eteri just didn't train her much the last 3 days, but considering that this is the exact same program that she did in the team event, Kamila doesn't need Eteri at this stage. She knows what she needs to do.
Hello! I'm searching youtube looking for the Valieva performance, I heard she fell, WHEN I WAS SO BUSY I COULDN'T WATCH.. I am now hearing about this drama with the other Russians as well.. wow, I feel for these skaters.. please let me know where I can find a replay.. and by the way, nice video! 👍 UPDATE: I was watching NBC tonight and saw the performances.. really - Alexandra Trusova was crying and inconsolable because she didn't get gold!
I agree whole heartedly, if she had landed that 3A in the short she would have gold! I still admire her the most when it comes to quads, still the quad queen.
I was rooting for Trusova to win. I think her 5 quads is more memorable than Anna's gold but then again, Anna skated clean. So credit should be given to her for her flawless programs. Had Trusova landed her 3A and performed her free like she did, she would've definitely won or if she landed her all her jumps flawlessly in the free. ISU maybe biased towards Eteri skaters but I doubt there's a conspiracy to favor Anna. Trusova is allowed to show her emotions because, why not? But her claims are just wrong in so many ways. Again, landing 5 quads is something that will be remembered than an Olympic gold because in 2026, there'll be another gold medalist but I doubt there's anyone who'd be able to jump and land 5 quads like she did.
I hadn't even realized until after the drama unfolded, when I looked at the standings, that the gold and silver were separated by just over 4 pts. If you look at other tournaments, Trusova has a history of underperforming at the short program and then nailing the free program. Little things here and there are the difference.
@Yoana Balcheva What happened to Kostornaia??? I thought she was going to be the next big skater and now all of a sudden she disappeared. Russia churns out girls like a factory.
God I know people love Sasha, but take out the jumps and her skating is dreadful. She had a spin with 3 rotations and the laziest spiral I’ve seen at the Olympics. She only skates crossovers in 1 direction. Take out the music and you won’t be able to tell it’s even a performance. Anna earned this win.
In my opinion, the main reason of this mess is WADA. I wrote about this under the previous video. They destroy competition, they destroy an olympic champion, they ruined a child. Well done
the main reason of this mess is adults letting children be abused for medals. What a mess, what a shame, I hope all the adults around these kids feel ashamed.

She may never recover psychologically by the abuse that she has suffered at the hands of her coaches, doctors and the ROC. She deserved to be celebrated, not shamed. This is not Kamila's fault.

@@sallysally5921 Oh, please. That statement reeks of paranoia. It is not a good look and will never serve you well. The whole world is aware of Russia's state program of doping its Olympic athletes.

I'm extremely sad to see Kamila broken! I really don't know what's the real story of doping but it's really stupid to think a 14 or 15 years old girl searches for a drug on her own! it's impossible! And it's really questionable whether this tiny amount of drug could ever help her or not, because through the past 2 years that I have followed her career she have never had any bad performance, she was almost perfect ! But I'm really angry at the media! they treated this little child like a villain! like she was some kind of monster and they didn't even have the decency to leave her for a second! It was obvious if she had won the media would never leave her alone!
This is the worst Olympics I've witnessed in my life. Everything was so weird and wrong on so many levels. Sochi was bad but only 1 aspect - judging. For this Olympics I don't even know where to start - Covid, child abuse, doping appeal, Covid, underscoring the Japense and Eteri Bonus. WTF
The low viewership of this year's Olympics spoke volume. What's more, they should have canceled the entire event than to have it sponsored in Communist China. And finally, we will never be able to view the ladies figure skating event in the same way again, after this Kamila Valieva controversy!
@@TheReneex Saw someone theorized on Twitter that Russia did a big brain play of setting up Kamila to fail by putting extra emotional pressure on her after discovering that the positive result was exposed for hopes to keep her off the podium so Shcherbakova's and Trusova's medals would be undisputed.

It s crazy because Sasha had got her score fairly, her mistakes were called. But anna won gold medal with 3 jumps that were q (did not get called) and her horrible lutz edge that is NEVER called. So how is this fair?
I think you got it wrong. Eteri advised her NOT to jump the 3A in the short and also advised the not to attempt all 5 quads in the free. Sasha stubbornly disregarded the advice. Her goal was to jump 5 quads and "I will always do the 3A". Sasha has NEVER landed a 3A in competition. Her short program score was consistent with previous scores. She has suffered with poor component scores always... she needs to learn the quality beats quantity.
Wtf is going on here Situation with Kamila obviously has a political origin: her positive test was taken at the end of December, but somehow suddenly appeared in the middle of Olympic season, which was done in order to prevent Kamila from defending herself and in order to let her get bogged down in all this, skating in the team competition, thereby increasing her chances of getting a long-term disqualification later. So kamila's condition and in general the whole mess at the Olympics is the fault of those people who use sports events as a political arena, and athletes as people for public execution, how did it happen that, in your opinion, etheri is the one who needs to be banned? And for what?
Trusova probably watched Nathan Chen do 5 quads and win and she thought the same thing would happen to her. But her score in the short program is what held her back. If Valieva didn't skate in the short program, Sasha's score from the free skate could have gotten her a gold medal.
What Sasha didn't understand is the judges favours artistry over difficulty of jumps for lady figure skating. Sure, they might want more quads in mens programme and didn't care for the sacrifice in artistry for men. But for women, the judges still value artistry over technical difficulty of jumps. This is why Alena Kostornaia was able to win back when she was unable to do quads. Sadly, the double standards for men and women still exists nowadays.
In all fairness, Trusova is a technical jumper and her program lacked the flawless artistry of Scherbakova. I don't believe that she was robbed and she made a couple mistakes on her landings. She expressed poor sportsmanship by pouting and refusing to go to the podium with the other winners. It was like a replica of the 1994 World championships. Where France's Surya Bonaly, also a technical jumper like Trusova, exerted so much defiance against judges placement of awarding Japan's Yuka Sato of the gold medal,. For her flawless program, This Olympic event was sadly marred by the Kamila Valieva doping scandal and it was quite disturbing to see Anna Scherbakova, the gold medal winner, standing alone after she won with no one by her side to boost her monumental win. Not even her coach, Eteri Tutberidze.
I guess she just let all her emotions out after seeing the result. You know she didn't have a proper gold medal since she went senior. And i personally think that Anna does get overscored although I think she also deserves a gold. Maybe you think she's artistry like Kamila. Yeah right everyone gaslighted by their moves, their hands movement, balletic vibe whatsoever so they chose to be blind of their bad jump techniques: edges, prerotation, underrotation,... Sasha has better technique and i find her skate more beautiful and enjoyable than other 2 girls. Anna just do some easy crossover, in and out, and she got monstrously high PCS like Kamila. Like what the hell? It happened so many time, like the SP in Olympics. I have to say Sasha deserves more than Anna and Kamila and she's definitely more potential. You can see she improved her skating a lot, fix her jumps, and determined to jump 3A properly. I'm sure she will be top 1 in the near future. If not, it's such a disgrace for FS. They mistreat her just like Yuzu despite she's the one open the new era for women FS and because of that people enjoy watching women FS more. It's not the first time Anna and Kamila got monstrously buffed so I think it's gonna be tougher for Sasha day by day
You took the words right out of my mouth. Trusova really needs a reality check. But hey, let's remember, these are young girls. But, to be fair, how many people have had their rightful spots stolen because judges wrongly held up Trusova simply becuase she was from Russia studying under Eteri? Case in point: Trusova should NOT have been above Wakaba in the short. Wakaba did a 3-axel and a clean short. Trusova FELL. She literally missed an element. But did you see Wakaba behaving like a spoiled brat? We love Trusova, but she needs to spend time working on her artistry. And take it seriously. But this behavior from her today was unacceptable. And where was Eteri while all this was going on? Unreal.
@@МарияИванова-ь7н Amen! In almost 30 years of following skating, I have never seen a skater with her musicality and dance ability and sensitivity- I hope she goes to a healthier coaching environment and is allowed to grow up and become a multi Olympic game legend.
Apparently this is what happened: Quote from Reddit"""Here's a quick summary: Poor Kamila breaks down after skating the worst Free Skate in her career while Eteri saying "This is not about you losing" as she is lead out of the arena to an awaiting car. (protected athlete my ass) Trusova throwing a major tantrum and shoving Tutberidze out of her way while shouting at the top of her lungs “I hate everyone, never in my life, never, I hate this sport," Anna seen sitting alone in silence (while the others are having full-on melt downs),looking bewildered, after putting in the most perfect skate to WIN the gold legitimately. Sakamoto with tears streaming down the coat of her coach as she gets her podium !!!
Trusuva was fkn annoying crying like that !!! She should be happy being there . I couldn’t believe what I was seeing how many other girls would of been happy to win any medal !!!!!! Kamila shouldn’t even have skated . A drug is a drug. I’m so annoyed with this whole situation
Exactly! I think the eteri team totally sabotaged trusova and they've been doing it from the start. We've seen Sasha's program and yes, she lacks a lot of artistry (I don't really mind personally, I love watching her skate but I get that some people would mind), but also there is literally almost no choreography in the free. Someone DESIGNED it and someone ACCEPTED it. They knew she would loose a lot of scores for an empty program but yet noone ever did sth about it from the start. I'm not an expert so I might be totally wrong but that's what I think and I'm pretty sure they never wanted her to win.
@@tatianamokienko thank you This girl talking in the video is lying her ass off. Trusova is the one who wanted to do all the quads. Eteri wanted her to pick a few she was consistent at and maximize the PCs and GOE. The people in the comments saying she was cheated are delusional. Trusova did not land 5 quads. She only land 2 quads maybe 3 . The other ones were under rotated, pre rotated, or stepped out of it. Are people blind!! Zero performance quality or artistic value. How her pcs and GOE were that high blows my mind. Anna did two quads and the capability to the quad lutz in her sleep for a total of three quads. She also had complex triple triple combos in the back half of her program. Shall we talk about her artistry and pcs and GOE being superior to that of Trusova? I love all three ladies but let’s just stop being delusional. Even the professional commentators/analysts/ retired skaters said Anna was the winner.
@@mwhite9084 but it’s not just Trusova. Look just compare Trusova’s step sequence at Junior worlds 2018 (the historic performance which began the quad revolution) with her step sequence here. Most skaters greatly improve their skating skills and performance from 13 to 17 but sasha has regressed a lot. Anna on the other hand improved her skating skills; they used to be the worst of all the Russian girls but now she’s better than the Mishin girls and sasha.
@@mwhite9084 yeah my point is the coaches clearly have the ability to improve skating skills and with a young athlete like Trusova a good coach is supposed to step in and say “enough quads, you want to win you work on this now.” Some athletes like Anna do whatever the coaches ask easily but Trusova needed to be pushed…when she came back from Plushenko Eteri should have given her condition: ok, you tried your way doing only quads and no performance and you ended up 3rd at worlds behind Tuktamysheva. Now if you want to return to me you have to work on artistry too
Trusova's tantrum seemed so unsportsmanlike and selfish to me. She makes no effort at artistic content at all, and she's got to know it matters. Even if she thinks the scoring is unfair, figure skating scoring has been notoriously biased forever. Just congratulate the gold medalist Anna, hug Kaori, and air your grievances later. Sheesh.
@@moon-bean then why she was crying and asking eteri about it. Backstage. She clearly said eteri you knew. Everyone knew for trusova triple axle was impossible, if she had gone with double , in short program, it was good. 5 points covered.
@@moon-bean now, other point. Everyone knew in free style highest scorer is trusova. Then why eteri not allowed trusova in team event. From Japan and USA 8 player got award, but from Russia it was only 6. Also, if eteri had allowed trusova in team event, the 1st quad jump woman world record wld had went to trusova. But now it went to kamila. So, no offence, trusova for a short time had changed her coach from eteri to phulsenko, and after returning, she was no more fav to eteri, as eteri has bad history with her older students too.
@@moon-bean and if trusova had went with 4 jumps, her score wld had settled at 100. So 5 quad wasn’t a mistake, it was wise. If you had watched her performance her initial jumps got bad not the last one .
@@moon-bean well, when u say there is no performance. Sorry if u can not feel the performance.it’s not new, many skate lovers want a girl to appear weak, helpless, in anxiety , stressful , then only they can see a performance, but when a girl says make statement of being powerful, fighter, furious , then people unable to see the strong emotion. They think ohh she is jumping only.
this video is great and I agree with everything. The whole situation is so sad. Everyone is in the wrong except the girls- they don't deserve this. ISU, WADA, IOC are all corrupted!! We can clearly see this in Beijing 2022. Not even commenting on Tutberidze. Sasha came back to her because she "wasn't as good with plushchenko"- so these kids can only work under extreme physical, emotional and media pressure? Bless them all. It's sad to see people saying "oh, well Kamila may as well end her career now". At 15?? Sorry, 15? Figure skating is obviously a young sport and many skaters don't stay even until the age of 20, but this girl Is going through her first Olympics, after a pandemic, after having to compete under ROC at just 15 yrs old. She's caught on a doping test, which is dodgy already (why did they bring it up now? why was It made public after she had already competed? why did they let her compete in the short programme anyway then?) and people expect her to stay put together and professional. Wow... Lowkey waiting for that "exposing eteri" moment. And lets just remember that drama just keeps following the tutberidze team (flashback to medvedeva vs zagitova 2018). These children are being traumatised, getting their childhood taken away, and for what now? A half-assed awarding ceremony, tons of hate online and maybe a car from Putin?? I always thought being such a high class athlete is an honour and that the athletes should be proud to represent their country, but these olympics just broke that idea completely. At this point its just corruption and politics. Hopefully the girls will be okay; their work ethic and strength are just immaculate.
Very well said, and you make a good point, the Olympics used to be about putting aside politics and differences to compete. But now it's ALL ABOUT POLITICS.
@@coachleif Too much of the warrior in her I think and people love her for that, not because she satisfied the whims of a bunch of constipated judges and coaches, she brings humanity, heart and soul into the inhuman world of modern sport, where youngsters are shovelled into the machine and turned into circus monkeys, doing tricks for an insatiable public and all the corporate hangers-on, leeches feeding on the blood of kids
i actually understand her breakdown, eteri girls almost always never make it when they pass 17 so there is almost no chance that she would go to another olympics let alone an olympic gold. it’s gone again…
In fact it‘s not really the case of Eteri right now. If you watch the last russian championship, u‘d see a lot of young girls from another coaches that show enormous results. Eteri was just the first one, but now not the only one raising competition among other athletes. Even without Eteri girls won’t really make it over 17-18, because of too high competition. That‘s the reason why so many russian girls perform for other countries nowadays
I feel like Sasha and Anna won't have any beef in their rooms because she was more upset with her coaches and the judges rather than Anna. Also, I felt like the cameras focusing on her during that breakdown was wrong. I just felt like she needed to be alone and let her frustration out, alone. The coaches trying to comfort her was also wrong because you see her getting SOOO UPSET, just let her be. She couldn't even have a private room to cry in, she was trying so hard to hide her face behind a wall. Like let her be.
То, что случилось на этой Олимпиаде - это геополитика. Позор коррумпированным чиновникам, которые закрывают глаза на допинг спортсменов из других стран, а русских "полоскают" во все СМИ. Мы должны быть терпимы и внимательны друг к другу, стараться лучше понять истоки. Незнание порождает агрессию. В России всегда ценилось трудолюбие и упорство.

Почитайте нашу историю, биографии выдающихся людей. И, может быть, тогда Вы поймёте, что могли заблуждаться.
to win, you don't have to be the strongest, you can win if you're the smartest. and thats what Anna did, she was very intelligent, and thats what Eteri said as well. I was rooting for Kamila then Sasha, at the beginning, but during the build up and to the their Olympic event i watched Anna carefully and realized how much smart and a hard fighter she is, and as she won i felt really happy for her, and similar to how she described it, you can't enjoy because of the mess that was about Kamila breakdown during her routine. I always said that it was the team management's fault for the whole situation that unfolded in China, not the athletes, those are just little girls trying to act as they were told to, but when you emotionally harass them they exploded, at that point the team and coaches i believe did not even have therapy specialists to handle that kind of situation, thats why it was a mess, and of course we all remember how the same thing happened in the previous Olympics between Alina and Evgenia, the same scenario where the coaches and team management are grooming Evgenia over the rest of the athletes, then Alina out performed her on merit and won the grand prize. Eteri and her coaching team are technically the best and highest caliber in FS in the world, but they really suck at social relations and PR level. and I hope they learn something for the future to improve in that area of their profession.
I almost think it's for the best, now she won't be persecuted by the media, accused that it's her fault that medals weren't issued, that was too much guilt put on her, so it's for the best right now, I feel so sorry for the girl.
Kamila is an excellent performer I do believe she sacrificed herself with poor performance so her fellow mates would win and receive their medals. I am sad that Alexandra was annoyed after all she won the Silver Medal. This Olympic Skating performance will go down in history not in a kind way. It is tainted it was not fair. Kamila is beautiful, has grace and poise her skating was amazing. I hope to see her in four years and pray she wins the gold.
Option 1, she wins gold or a medal. No ceremony for anyone and will be THE story of the Olympics, what will happen wit her and is it fair? Option 2, she ‘falls on the blade’, sacrifices for the team and her well being. She is no longer the main story, ceremony can happen and now Olympics can focus on other athletes. Come back stronger in 4 years. What would you do?
If you want it to be about gracefulness, put it in an arts competition with ballroom dancing and ballet. It should not be in the Olympics. Olympics should be about sports. I think they should put all "sports" where judges are required to evaluate artistry, in their own separate competition for those who want to admire grace. Call it what you like "physical art" maybe. But keep the Olympics for sports, where we can admire those who are objectively the most athletically skillful.
For 20 years I have been remembering that there are always problems in women's competition in the Olympic competition. There is always someone wrongly judged
@@aura53 no one knowswhy kamila in free event of team competition. In team event Russia was quite ahead of other countries, and last program was of women free skate. Kamila had already participated in short programme. But till last minute no one knew who was going on rink. Later it was again kamila. And no doubt trusova was doing best in free programme. If they had allowed trusova, she could also had gold with kamila and Anna. May be Kamila was eteri’s favourite .
@@yasyales for abusing and exploiting these young girls. Have you seem the way they're treated? Kamila got yelled at by eteri after placing 4th. Alexandria was overheard yelling at eteri saying "you knew this was going to happen", nearly all of their girls have all sorts of injuries after they reach their "peak"
I don’t think she (Trusova because of the mysterious broken skate incident while Plushenko was her coach) would be safe in Russia as long as Eteri has a choke hold on Russian skating. Maybe she can have a longer career in Canada or France? In the end all I wish for is for these girls to be happy and safe. Because all this drama really exposed the toxicity in women’s figure skating. I feel bad for these girls because we should be celebrating their successes not worrying about their mental and physical health. Also, I hope that Kamila gets a chance to show the world how much of an amazing skater she is without all of this scandal around her.
It seems like many of the girls that have left Eteri for Canada’s Orser, seem to go back to Eteri. It’s short sighted in a sense because her coaching also seems to end up with the youngest retirements and injuries to skaters. It’s a real shame that she only seems to care about gold and not the health and longevity of these young girls.
@@jenniferjames346 They only go back to her out of desperation when they realize the scoring system is rigged against them if they're not with her. In the case of Medvedeva, she was stuck in Russia during the pandemic and gravitated back to Eteri. It didn't last long.
All the Russians are overscored, BUT Sasha tends to be the Russian that is the least overscored compared to Anna and Kamila. IF Anna's lutz was called and her edges called correctly, she may have lost to Sasha....I mean, come on people, she was only ~6 pts behind Sasha's technical score. PCS is so subjective. Some people like ballerina style while others prefer strong and physical styles. If Nathan can get the PCS scores, why can Sasha not?! Let's not bully a 17 year old. How would you all feel after achieving 5 quads and losing to someone with 2 quads with crappy technique? Anna's constantly doing the same emotions and facials, nothing really changes in her programs.
Agreed. I think the judges need to be relaced with younger ones with less tunnel vision on what PCS scores should be about. Not every artistic person needs to be balletic. I find Trusova not only exciting but also captivating, while Anna puts me to sleep.
Trusova 3A was self sabotage. Honestly they wanted Anna to be the champion because she didn’t leave Eteri for plushenko. For Kamila I hope that she will be okay but I think that they have asked her to lose because an interesting theory said that they asked trusova to let Anna have a better performance than her in European to make sure that the last spot will be for Anna and not Liza
The Russians MUST BE VERY WELL INVESTIGATED , because this is beyond a competition; is treating humans as objects and CONGRATULATIONS TO THE JAPANESE my favorites as I live in beautiful Japan 🇯🇵♥️
@@Sushisashi499 sorry; I don’t watch other sports; really? So many problems? Wow; just in case you are Russian or like them I want to make clear that I like very very much Russian people; what disturbs me is the pain I see in these girls even the silver medal was crying like hell ! … it’s the people that manage .. pls don’t be mad
@@Sushisashi499 lol it’s not about getting angry or crying. It’s about the mental development and how they are still children who handle such pressure a lot worse than adults
She’s lucky to be second though, she did fall on a triple axel in the short program where Anna was clean… Sasha also had some calls on her quads in the free too..
I agree with your opinion. I feel really bad for all of them including the Japanese girls. Everyone had it bad. No need to go over Trusova and Kamila. I feel bad for Anna when she went to her spot and no one cheered for her win and how she was shocked she actually won. Then, the underscored Japanese girls, Wakaba and Kaori. I guess quads are the reason Anna tops Kaori but if that was the case, was 5 quads per FP not enough to shield Trusova from her 3A mistake in the SP? I'm a big fan of Anna but I'd rather not her win gold if it's so badly marred to the point it might not be a good memory at all. I was rooting for Sasha's first or only gold at the Olympics, so that's another reason I felt so bad about her. Then, there's Kaori with a beautiful program that I felt could've been worth gold as well. I feel so bad for everyone. The only thing I'm happy about is the Japanese hugging when Kaori won.
I don’t think any of us watching that free skate thought she could make that many mistakes in her program, there’s something up and I hope they can get some answers, I wonder what’s going to happen when they get back to Russia I fear for Valieva’s mental health this is a lot for a 15 yr old, so if she was told to throw the skate or it was just the pressure and scrutiny of it all either way she definitely needs to see someone for her mental well being. I certainly want to see more of her in the future she is absolutely one of the best skaters I’ve seen in a while, may god bless her and her family.
I feel so terribly sorry for especially Kamila Valieva. I cannot believe that our society is able to basically witch-hunt a 15-year-old and break her down publically, literally in front of the whole world. The timing is so strange, too. What a shame! And what a shame that we could not have seen her perfect performance, she is marvelous. As to Trusova - a bit is lacking there, not in the jumps or technique, but she simply has not the art and elegance the other girls do.
This doping issue is a complete bullshit! Very questionable and open to manipulation. This is a shame for Olympic Committee and World Anti-doping Agency. Put those medals into your proper organs! Kamila Valieva is the champion of my heart.
Well, I was pulling for Kamila, too but you need to get real! The Russians have a long, corrupt and devious history of doping their athletes for the Olympics and you need to address it like everyone else. Doping is a slap in the face to everyone who plays by the rules and yet the coaches and other handlers of Russian athletes seem to think it is in their best interest to cheat anyway. It needs to stop. Shame on those adult Russians who put Kamila in this position. What they have done is disgraceful. Kamila is the best skater in the world and she deserved much better than this.
She was not robbed. As a matter of fact, I was surprise she made the podium at all, she had a couple of errors in her routine. Also, she should be careful what she says, because the media is a mess maker.
@Nor Ainsyah Anna is 3 times national champion, world champion and now olympic. And Sasha has nothing. She is only about jumps. But even the jumps she could not make clean in SP and FS.
They were already discussing changing it to 17+ for senior women this summer BEFORE this scandal broke, but now it's gonna be a lock. The only question is the timing of the rule. The original plan was for it to take effect for 23-24 season, but they might just make it start next season (this Fall's Grand Prix events) now. Current skaters who are seniors would be allowed to still compete at this level but no new competitors unless they are 17+. Next Olympics will absolutely be 17+ only.
STOP with the BS. She’s 15 years old. How could anyone, much less a 15 year old, heel their head in the game after all of this. She is a victim here. An adult, or adults, did this to her.
@@sayomsskiver Thanks. I appreciate that. I'm a little defensive because I'm shocked an appalled by all the comments I'm reading about her. This is so tragic on so many levels. Anna is my favorite skater and I can't even be happy for her today because I'm so devastated for Kamila. New info is emerging and Eteri's comments to Kamila when she came off the ice do not in any way indicate Kamila was told by her coaching team to sabotage herself.
All just babies really! So much trauma! No 15 year old can make such decisions. It makes me sooo sad for all these kids! The coach needs to be put in her proper place! I’m rambling too. Thanks for this!
I can’t help but have the same feeling as you. She was not herself at all, even in her short program, Kamila had EMOTION…even after the media scrutiny. But showed nothing in her free skate. I hope her tests weren’t tampered with and I could be completely wrong!! Just a feeling.
During her testimony, she admitted to mistakenly taking the drug that belonged to her grandfather. And they showed his prescription for it during the conference. So, her test weren't tampered with.
@@ar1__x86 she did not admit to taking her grandfathers medicine. They put that forward as a possible explanation for how the drugs were in her system, especially considering the negligible amounts detected. They have asked for the B sample to be analyzed because they believe the lab is in error.
I agree, that Kamila just sacrificed herself for the countries and teammates sake. About Trusova. She insisted on tripleA in the short program, it was her own free will. She was obsessed for doing all those jumps
Comments were made that it didn’t matter if the triple axle was done poorly or whatever that she would keep doing it in the short program because she could make up the points in the free skate. Supposedly said by the skater who was stubbornly saying SHE would not take it out of the program. Maybe the girl was TOO sure if herself. Backfired. Still silver so she shouldn’t be snubbing her nose.
Trusova said “ I never get gold, no matter the competition I never medal and everyone does. I am done with this sport and these judges, I do not want to step on the ice again (then refused to step up the podium and Eteri pushed her to go even while crying)”. Just terrible, these coaches make them crumble to think that’s all they are worth, filling their head with goals and triumphs yet dispose them and take 40% of their winning income. I’m done with skating too screw the ISU for putting all this to happen in one of the biggest platform. I am happy for Anna for mentally focusing on herself but she well knows now she will be disposable as Evgenia, Alina, and now Kamila. I hope Alexandra and Anna seek new coaches even if it means Plushenko or Mishin. I love Anna but was rooting for Alexandra for putting it all on the line but many mistakes in SP and FS and low artistry was expected for 2nd, glad not 3rd. As for Kamila her implosion seemed planned. Eteri had to tell her give it up. The dream is gone. Probably promising her the world after this fiasco. Kamila didn’t even feel the music and was pre rotating aggressively almost pushing to make mistakes. Just tragic event, happy for Anna but even she feels empty. This ruined the most vowed event in these games. I hope the coaches face a sanction. It has bruised the sport and shame on the ISU for not having a proper execution to this event.
There’s no way valieva did this failed routine on purpose. Trusova has zero skating skills, that’s why she came in second. Honestly , trusova was overscored in the short
Вам не понять русского характера, который присущ всем, кто родом из Советского Союза! Мы потомки тех, кто выиграл Великую Отечественную Войну! У нас в крови слово НАДО!

Мы на мгновение сами становимся лучше, чище, красивее, глядя на их выступления! И благодарить за это нужно Этери, ее талант! Хватит говорить про наркотики и жестокость! Это несправедливо! То, что случилось на этой Олимпиаде
thoughts in short: love love kaori and so happy for her. eteri needs to be LOCKED UP (the same woman that bragged about using banned drugs a couple years ago, who knows how long shes been doping these girls and getting away with it). that whole camp deserves jail time. anna looked sad and lost. sasha..damn that was tough to watch. but also i see your point on her being set up because her programme design is so ugly and empty literally just crossovers and quads, however she lacks the artistry needed from an OGM. also the camera men fully disrespected them damn, while sasha was having a breakdown they were chasing her... what a sad end to kamilas career
She was executed before the eyes of the whole world ... Those who organized and executed it are soulless.SHAME ON YOU...AND NOW FEEL SORRY FOR KAMILA...YOU DONE IT!!!
My conspiracy theory is that Eteri and co encouraged Sasha to include the 5 quads in her FS because they probably counted on her not landing them all. That's how they held her back all these years since she became senior in favor of other skaters like Kosternaia or Shcherbakova. Today, everything clicked, Trusova landed all 5 quads and their whole scheme backfired. That meltdown after the FS should be enough to expose them. On the other hand, Trusova was spectacular and made history, but let's be real, she lost the gold in the SP. A simple 2Axel would have sufficed and today would have been a different story.
Hat man bei Anna auch so genau bei den Kanten geschaut wie bei Sascha? Ich glaube nicht. Leider kenne ich mich damit nicht aus, aber in einem anderen Beitrag wurde genau das geschrieben. Auch Pluschenko hat schon die Frage gestellt, wo die Punkte für Anna herkommen.
@@Гексли07-ж5м th-cam.com/video/aShCCW5mhJg/w-d-xo.html Ich hoffe, dass Trusova noch die Goldmedaille bekommt und dass die Sache ein riesiges Nachspiel bekommt. Man kann Sascha nicht auf so schäbige Art und Weise veralbern und für dumm verkaufen.
seems to me they were all in a pressure cooker sooner or later its going to bubble over or explode, when they all started crying i started crying, i'm emotional for a big guy, it got to me, they just kids after all, to me at least, they did their best and one was mislead, i love them all and give them my blessings. hope they feel better one day, but wow. when the one girl said i'm not going to the podium oh, the tears shed here, poor girl. bless her heart.
Proof that the world has gone mad really nothing is sacred anymore nothing absolutely nothing and you are correct this poor young girl will suffer most of her life.. but I think it is a lesson to all... You are going to get caught no matter what they tell you 💔💔💔💔💔 praying for this child though I know she is a brat she is still a child.. and what they have done to her is just outrageous
Trusova should switch to Brian Orser (the same coach that evgenia medvedeva switched to) Hes a Canadian coach and maybe it’s just cause I’m Canadian and I LOVE Sasha Trusova, she’s such a talented skater.
umm sasha was the one who chose to do the triple axel lmao YOU are the one making up this drama and making the situation messy. She took the risk instead of going the safe way which I respect a lot, sadly it didn't help her but yeah figure skating fans are always talking about how dramatic and messy eveything is when for the most part they are the ones creating the drama and spreading lies GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT before spreading misinformation and stating as facts
Yes there's much Drama . Queens on the ice. Can't believe that NBC news commentators fell from beautiful to ugly. You would think that since they were on the ice they would behave with class, they fell to the bottom and we are all confused. But we will stay tuned because we all 💕 love Drama. But people these are young girls.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ETERI'S CAMP. They win EVERYTHING. Kamila's case was an external atack. Sasha is known for being a stubborn kid, she wanted to perform 3A at all cost, and it costed her the gold medal. She also had problems with the toeloop (quad and triple)...that's all.
I believe she was told to self sabotage! That makes me even more sad! By the way, I see no fault of her here. They used her like a Rag Doll. She should leave Russia and go to somewhere in Europe or US to get better education and protection! She is still young and has so much talent to recover. I am disgusted by the US Media for what they have done but that's another subject! They are all laughing behind their fake sadness!
Not jealous by a long shot.....The only thing I worry about for Trusova is that in her outburst, if she were to expose this "coach" for what she really is, then her *life* could very well be on the line if she were ever to return to Russia.
Seems like the Russian camp is toxic... I don't know what you do about 2 skaters so upset with their performance and results that they don't even care that their teammate Anna won the gold. It's sad all around. Imo Anna deserved to win ..skating can't just be about quad jumps. It's sad that a child was out in this place. She has no idea what she's taking. She trust people around her to make the right decisions and they let her down. Sad all the way around. Hope those girls get through this and get away from that Russian Camp. Come to America and skate in some Ice skating shows and make people happy and make lots of money.
The skater who won was from Japan. Her joy and excitement about her bronze medal was finally a happy moment in this horror story of women’s skating at these Olympics. That was something to feel good about.
Did you see the tears of Kamilla after her failed skating? Do you really think she failed it on purpose?.. Poor girl was not able to endure that pressure! She is only 15!
Of course. She wouldn’t go on ice if she needed to just forfeit the medal
She was sobbing uncontrollably. It was very difficult to watch.
A cheating 15 yr old.
@@pulmo1 i don't believe in test results. I trust my own eyes more than wada, when I see american male-like women athlets & these gentle looking Russian skaters.
@@pulmo1 A 15 year old being abused by her coaches and country, giving her a banned substance. It's the adults putting the pressure on and trying to abuse her. It's possible she was given supplements etc. daily and they just slipped it in. At any rate, taking TMZ was not the decision of a 15 yr. old, it was a decision of the adults in charge of her.
I think the years of the judges favoring Anna over Sasha finally got to her. It's always been blatant that they will give Anna more points than Sasha. Even more so when she moved to Plushenko. They will always give anna the higher goe and pcs to put her above Sasha even when Sasha is doing more quads time and time again. I think she finally just had enough of it and let her emotions come forward.
Fuck you !!! Envy silently, chickens
Sasha would win if she realized her previous program better, but it was not the case, unfortunately.
Anna is a better skater than Sasha... always was. Sasha stubbornly believes that quantity will beat quality. This has been going on for years and she still doesn't get it. She has not won a major start in 3 years. She is the queen of bronze medals.
@@defendersvacanandaigua6155 Quality? Look at Anna's performance in slow motion paying particular attention to jumping under-rotation, fly camel spin and overall skating skills
@@defendersvacanandaigua6155 Anna's quality? Is this some kind of a joke? Flat/wrong edges on all of her lutzes and flips! Non of them was called , none of 7 attempts! Triple Salchow underrotatiin was also noticable for everyone, but nothing appeared in protocols!
What about SP then? Sasha was gorgeous there, difficult jumps, beautiful spins and way harder footwork in her whole program than Anna's and yet she had the same components. From juniors Annas components raised by itself, whereas Sahsas almost stood in place despite the fact she got better in everything...Only a fool can't notice that.
How Annas wrong lfat edges being called on her first big b competition magically disappeared after when no improving were made???? How can you explain this
Sasha is a history maker, leading the quad revolution for women.
Today, she added a huge chapter to that history: 5 quads on the biggest stage of all 💗
Otherwise yes: A lot of mixed emotions due to the doping allegations and shadows from a the shady past.
I think Sashas “you knew” refers to eteri and her team probably telling her that she just needs to land all the quads and she can win. But the reality of how “low” her interpretation is being scored is something the team is more aware of than they are letting trusova know.
My heart aches for the beautiful skaters whose shining lights were dimmed by this scandal. The rush to judge Valieva by social and news media is unforgivable. They broke her. The adults surrounding her are responsible for her well being, to keep her safe, to keep her healthy, to keep her reputation untarnished. She is a child whose talents have been exploited. Where does she go from here? How does she mature into a young woman and leave this behind her? There are many stones unturned in this incident. Many who will be held accountable. To those who feel Valieva got what she deserved, I say this to you. Valieva's fall is a symptom of what is wrong with the sport, with the Olympics. If anyone is to be held accountable, there first must be a deep investigation into the entire sport and those responsible for training our talented athletes.
amen
They've made her a sacrificial lamb and literally destroyed her career. Even before it got started!
Well said! Instead of seeing a thing of beauty, we got to witness a tragedy. It is symptomatic of what our society has become.
👍
spoke right! This young woman didn't deserve all this exposure because it could end all the work of her entire life. Doping should not be accessible to the public to avoid exposing the athlete to humiliation and judgment.
I would like trusova to win. She is a Phenomenon. Maybe next time…
Next time? Eteri girls dont make it past 17
i dont think there will be a next time unfortunately
She's already 17 , right? Well let's see if she can win the world's next month
She seems to be tougher than the other girls, at least phisically. Maybe, like Tuktamysheva, her career can last longer than the Eteri´s girls usual...
@@meenalchugh That would be her best shot at a gold if she is ever going to win one before expiration date comes. Sadly, it seems unlikely. After her outburst at Olympics, the judges are not gonna like her. She was on thin ice with the judges even before this happened.
Sakamoto was the one who won gold that night she skated consistently, no drama just a golden experience with an Olympic podium finish. She probably thought that she had not the slightest chance of placing but she did!
У Каори нет ультра-си. А победу им всем подарила опозоренная несправедливо Святой Ангел Камила.
Sakamoto won bronce medal only because Kamila had the problem she had, and all that pressure, but if she didn't had that problems, Sakamoto never could have won a medal against Kamila or Anna o Sasha
Eteri asked Kamila after the program why she stopped fighting? So I don't think she wanted Kamila to lose.
I don’t think it was staged. Otherwise Kamila could have just not even go on ice. I think she’s not used to falling and after first mistake she just lost it. Because of all the bullying
eteri gets more money having a sambo sweep, of course she wanted kamila to make the podium.
@@pokerqAK47 She stopped fighting because she is a broken child who had no strength left and who just suffered "irreparable harm".
@@user-luciddream no. Eteri made everything to bring Anna to the golden medal. Anna's father is very powerful
Просто сдали нервы у камилы, не выдержала психологически, просто надо быть пофигисткой, но увы, девочки эмоциональны, берут все к сердцу. Жаль..
Anna is a more complete skater who had a flawless skate...like...better than I ever would've thought. Sasha did a jump drill for 3 minutes and then made some cute gestures and faces for the last minute. The program was not cohesive. Besides, Trusova did win the FS.
Trusova is my QUEEN! She's exciting and leaves it all on the ice. I prefer her style.
Like Trusova's Triple A, social media conspiracists are more then likely wrong. Eteri would never send one of her girls out to fail. Trusova has said many times, no matter what, no matter what anyone tells her to do, she would continue jumping the Triple Axel, knowing that landing them could mean Olympic gold.
Fair enough. It cost her today though.
@@sayomsskiver There was high competition. The strongest won. I'm very sorry for Camila.
In this case, its not hard to believe that Eteri would have made such a suggestion. Because if Valieva had won, she would have lost millions more.
@@TheReneex Eteri most definitely didn't tell Kamila to tank anything, nor did she have to. The pressure got to her. If there was sabotage, maybe Eteri just didn't train her much the last 3 days, but considering that this is the exact same program that she did in the team event, Kamila doesn't need Eteri at this stage. She knows what she needs to do.
Hello! I'm searching youtube looking for the Valieva performance, I heard she fell, WHEN I WAS SO BUSY I COULDN'T WATCH.. I am now hearing about this drama with the other Russians as well.. wow, I feel for these skaters.. please let me know where I can find a replay.. and by the way, nice video! 👍 UPDATE: I was watching NBC tonight and saw the performances.. really - Alexandra Trusova was crying and inconsolable because she didn't get gold!
I agree whole heartedly, if she had landed that 3A in the short she would have gold! I still admire her the most when it comes to quads, still the quad queen.
Even if she did , they would grade Ana higher .. its ridiculous
No, she left one spot vacant . Not even 3A , if she had jumped any double she had gold today. Look at her boxes. One left out at end
Ana comentario típico de bolsonarista! Pqp! Ridicula
She got a low pp score. Camila get more pp scores than her.
No habría ganado. Wakaba aterrizó el 3A en el corto y quedó por detrás de patinadoras que se fueron al suelo.
I was rooting for Trusova to win. I think her 5 quads is more memorable than Anna's gold but then again, Anna skated clean. So credit should be given to her for her flawless programs. Had Trusova landed her 3A and performed her free like she did, she would've definitely won or if she landed her all her jumps flawlessly in the free. ISU maybe biased towards Eteri skaters but I doubt there's a conspiracy to favor Anna. Trusova is allowed to show her emotions because, why not? But her claims are just wrong in so many ways. Again, landing 5 quads is something that will be remembered than an Olympic gold because in 2026, there'll be another gold medalist but I doubt there's anyone who'd be able to jump and land 5 quads like she did.
anna 's flip are both flat edge.
I hadn't even realized until after the drama unfolded, when I looked at the standings, that the gold and silver were separated by just over 4 pts. If you look at other tournaments, Trusova has a history of underperforming at the short program and then nailing the free program. Little things here and there are the difference.
Yeah Trusova is SO much more artistic and just beautiful to watch while Anna made me cringe...
@Yoana Balcheva What happened to Kostornaia??? I thought she was going to be the next big skater and now all of a sudden she disappeared. Russia churns out girls like a factory.
@Naver블로그: 성재기의 유산 if you have proof that she did then you'd be taken seriously. Otherwise, stay bitter. LOL
God I know people love Sasha, but take out the jumps and her skating is dreadful. She had a spin with 3 rotations and the laziest spiral I’ve seen at the Olympics. She only skates crossovers in 1 direction. Take out the music and you won’t be able to tell it’s even a performance. Anna earned this win.
In my opinion, the main reason of this mess is WADA. I wrote about this under the previous video. They destroy competition, they destroy an olympic champion, they ruined a child. Well done
the main reason of this mess is adults letting children be abused for medals. What a mess, what a shame, I hope all the adults around these kids feel ashamed.

Hot mess, I agree. It was traumatizing to watch to be honest…
I'm extremely sad to see Kamila broken! I really don't know what's the real story of doping but it's really stupid to think a 14 or 15 years old girl searches for a drug on her own! it's impossible! And it's really questionable whether this tiny amount of drug could ever help her or not, because through the past 2 years that I have followed her career she have never had any bad performance, she was almost perfect !
But I'm really angry at the media! they treated this little child like a villain! like she was some kind of monster and they didn't even have the decency to leave her for a second! It was obvious if she had won the media would never leave her alone!
You got that right, exploit a child, then destroy the same child.
This is the worst Olympics I've witnessed in my life. Everything was so weird and wrong on so many levels. Sochi was bad but only 1 aspect - judging. For this Olympics I don't even know where to start - Covid, child abuse, doping appeal, Covid, underscoring the Japense and Eteri Bonus. WTF

Fuck you !!! Envy silently, chickens
I think you got it wrong. Eteri advised her NOT to jump the 3A in the short and also advised the not to attempt all 5 quads in the free. Sasha stubbornly disregarded the advice. Her goal was to jump 5 quads and "I will always do the 3A". Sasha has NEVER landed a 3A in competition. Her short program score was consistent with previous scores. She has suffered with poor component scores always... she needs to learn the quality beats quantity.
Wtf is going on here
Situation with Kamila obviously has a political origin: her positive test was taken at the end of December, but somehow suddenly appeared in the middle of Olympic season, which was done in order to prevent Kamila from defending herself and in order to let her get bogged down in all this, skating in the team competition, thereby increasing her chances of getting a long-term disqualification later. So kamila's condition and in general the whole mess at the Olympics is the fault of those people who use sports events as a political arena, and athletes as people for public execution, how did it happen that, in your opinion, etheri is the one who needs to be banned? And for what?
Trusova probably watched Nathan Chen do 5 quads and win and she thought the same thing would happen to her. But her score in the short program is what held her back. If Valieva didn't skate in the short program, Sasha's score from the free skate could have gotten her a gold medal.
landing quality not good as Nathan
What Sasha didn't understand is the judges favours artistry over difficulty of jumps for lady figure skating. Sure, they might want more quads in mens programme and didn't care for the sacrifice in artistry for men. But for women, the judges still value artistry over technical difficulty of jumps. This is why Alena Kostornaia was able to win back when she was unable to do quads. Sadly, the double standards for men and women still exists nowadays.
In all fairness, Trusova is a technical jumper and her program lacked the flawless artistry of Scherbakova. I don't believe that she was robbed and she made a couple mistakes on her landings. She expressed poor sportsmanship by pouting and refusing to go to the podium with the other winners.
It was like a replica of the 1994 World championships. Where France's Surya Bonaly, also a technical jumper like Trusova, exerted so much defiance against judges placement of awarding Japan's Yuka Sato of the gold medal,. For her flawless program,
This Olympic event was sadly marred by the Kamila Valieva doping scandal and it was quite disturbing to see Anna Scherbakova, the gold medal winner, standing alone after she won with no one by her side to boost her monumental win. Not even her coach, Eteri Tutberidze.
I guess she just let all her emotions out after seeing the result. You know she didn't have a proper gold medal since she went senior. And i personally think that Anna does get overscored although I think she also deserves a gold. Maybe you think she's artistry like Kamila. Yeah right everyone gaslighted by their moves, their hands movement, balletic vibe whatsoever so they chose to be blind of their bad jump techniques: edges, prerotation, underrotation,... Sasha has better technique and i find her skate more beautiful and enjoyable than other 2 girls. Anna just do some easy crossover, in and out, and she got monstrously high PCS like Kamila. Like what the hell? It happened so many time, like the SP in Olympics. I have to say Sasha deserves more than Anna and Kamila and she's definitely more potential. You can see she improved her skating a lot, fix her jumps, and determined to jump 3A properly. I'm sure she will be top 1 in the near future. If not, it's such a disgrace for FS. They mistreat her just like Yuzu despite she's the one open the new era for women FS and because of that people enjoy watching women FS more. It's not the first time Anna and Kamila got monstrously buffed so I think it's gonna be tougher for Sasha day by day
You took the words right out of my mouth. Trusova really needs a reality check. But hey, let's remember, these are young girls. But, to be fair, how many people have had their rightful spots stolen because judges wrongly held up Trusova simply becuase she was from Russia studying under Eteri? Case in point: Trusova should NOT have been above Wakaba in the short. Wakaba did a 3-axel and a clean short. Trusova FELL. She literally missed an element. But did you see Wakaba behaving like a spoiled brat? We love Trusova, but she needs to spend time working on her artistry. And take it seriously. But this behavior from her today was unacceptable. And where was Eteri while all this was going on? Unreal.
@@dmp7252 You know where Eteri was? In the back, consoling Valieva. After she probably encouraged her to forfeit this event in order to save her hide!
Yes, I thought of Bonaly too. It really shows the paradoxes of the sport...
@@TheReneex nah, I don’t think so. Why not just cancel her performance at all?
Its illegal to take Valieva's medal since she was clear in olympics tests
Kaori is the happiest.♡♡
So heartbroken for Kamila. To hell with this shity medal how is she gonna deal with the aftermath.
Будем надеяться,что сможем увидеть наконец-то долгую карьеру фигуристки. И она воспрянет, как феникс,на следующих играх.
@@МарияИванова-ь7н Amen! In almost 30 years of following skating, I have never seen a skater with her musicality and dance ability and sensitivity- I hope she goes to a healthier coaching environment and is allowed to grow up and become a multi Olympic game legend.
Apparently this is what happened:
Quote from Reddit"""Here's a quick summary:
Poor Kamila breaks down after skating the worst Free Skate in her career while Eteri saying "This is not about you losing" as she is lead out of the arena to an awaiting car. (protected athlete my ass)
Trusova throwing a major tantrum and shoving Tutberidze out of her way while shouting at the top of her lungs
“I hate everyone, never in my life, never, I hate this sport,"
Anna seen sitting alone in silence (while the others are having full-on melt downs),looking bewildered, after putting in the most perfect skate to WIN the gold legitimately.
Sakamoto with tears streaming down the coat of her coach as she gets her podium !!!
Trusuva was fkn annoying crying like that !!! She should be happy being there . I couldn’t believe what I was seeing how many other girls would of been happy to win any medal !!!!!! Kamila shouldn’t even have skated . A drug is a drug. I’m so annoyed with this whole situation
Exactly! I think the eteri team totally sabotaged trusova and they've been doing it from the start. We've seen Sasha's program and yes, she lacks a lot of artistry (I don't really mind personally, I love watching her skate but I get that some people would mind), but also there is literally almost no choreography in the free. Someone DESIGNED it and someone ACCEPTED it. They knew she would loose a lot of scores for an empty program but yet noone ever did sth about it from the start. I'm not an expert so I might be totally wrong but that's what I think and I'm pretty sure they never wanted her to win.
You are definitely not an expert.
@@tatianamokienko thank you
This girl talking in the video is lying her ass off. Trusova is the one who wanted to do all the quads. Eteri wanted her to pick a few she was consistent at and maximize the PCs and GOE. The people in the comments saying she was cheated are delusional. Trusova did not land 5 quads. She only land 2 quads maybe 3 . The other ones were under rotated, pre rotated, or stepped out of it. Are people blind!! Zero performance quality or artistic value. How her pcs and GOE were that high blows my mind. Anna did two quads and the capability to the quad lutz in her sleep for a total of three quads. She also had complex triple triple combos in the back half of her program. Shall we talk about her artistry and pcs and GOE being superior to that of Trusova? I love all three ladies but let’s just stop being delusional. Even the professional commentators/analysts/ retired skaters said Anna was the winner.
@@mwhite9084 but it’s not just Trusova. Look just compare Trusova’s step sequence at Junior worlds 2018 (the historic performance which began the quad revolution) with her step sequence here. Most skaters greatly improve their skating skills and performance from 13 to 17 but sasha has regressed a lot. Anna on the other hand improved her skating skills; they used to be the worst of all the Russian girls but now she’s better than the Mishin girls and sasha.
@@Plaspos I agree with everything you said
@@mwhite9084 yeah my point is the coaches clearly have the ability to improve skating skills and with a young athlete like Trusova a good coach is supposed to step in and say “enough quads, you want to win you work on this now.” Some athletes like Anna do whatever the coaches ask easily but Trusova needed to be pushed…when she came back from Plushenko Eteri should have given her condition: ok, you tried your way doing only quads and no performance and you ended up 3rd at worlds behind Tuktamysheva. Now if you want to return to me you have to work on artistry too
With or without gold medal, we all known valieva is the best
Trusova's tantrum seemed so unsportsmanlike and selfish to me. She makes no effort at artistic content at all, and she's got to know it matters. Even if she thinks the scoring is unfair, figure skating scoring has been notoriously biased forever. Just congratulate the gold medalist Anna, hug Kaori, and air your grievances later. Sheesh.
Trusova did amazing in freestyle . Anna was taught to play safe but trusova was pushed in risk.
Трусову надо было сдерживать, а не толкать
@@moon-bean then why she was crying and asking eteri about it. Backstage. She clearly said eteri you knew. Everyone knew for trusova triple axle was impossible, if she had gone with double , in short program, it was good. 5 points covered.
@@moon-bean now, other point. Everyone knew in free style highest scorer is trusova. Then why eteri not allowed trusova in team event. From Japan and USA 8 player got award, but from Russia it was only 6. Also, if eteri had allowed trusova in team event, the 1st quad jump woman world record wld had went to trusova. But now it went to kamila. So, no offence, trusova for a short time had changed her coach from eteri to phulsenko, and after returning, she was no more fav to eteri, as eteri has bad history with her older students too.
@@moon-bean and if trusova had went with 4 jumps, her score wld had settled at 100. So 5 quad wasn’t a mistake, it was wise. If you had watched her performance her initial jumps got bad not the last one .
@@moon-bean well, when u say there is no performance. Sorry if u can not feel the performance.it’s not new, many skate lovers want a girl to appear weak, helpless, in anxiety , stressful , then only they can see a performance, but when a girl says make statement of being powerful, fighter, furious , then people unable to see the strong emotion. They think ohh she is jumping only.
this video is great and I agree with everything. The whole situation is so sad. Everyone is in the wrong except the girls- they don't deserve this. ISU, WADA, IOC are all corrupted!! We can clearly see this in Beijing 2022. Not even commenting on Tutberidze. Sasha came back to her because she "wasn't as good with plushchenko"- so these kids can only work under extreme physical, emotional and media pressure? Bless them all. It's sad to see people saying "oh, well Kamila may as well end her career now". At 15?? Sorry, 15? Figure skating is obviously a young sport and many skaters don't stay even until the age of 20, but this girl Is going through her first Olympics, after a pandemic, after having to compete under ROC at just 15 yrs old. She's caught on a doping test, which is dodgy already (why did they bring it up now? why was It made public after she had already competed? why did they let her compete in the short programme anyway then?) and people expect her to stay put together and professional. Wow... Lowkey waiting for that "exposing eteri" moment. And lets just remember that drama just keeps following the tutberidze team (flashback to medvedeva vs zagitova 2018). These children are being traumatised, getting their childhood taken away, and for what now? A half-assed awarding ceremony, tons of hate online and maybe a car from Putin?? I always thought being such a high class athlete is an honour and that the athletes should be proud to represent their country, but these olympics just broke that idea completely. At this point its just corruption and politics. Hopefully the girls will be okay; their work ethic and strength are just immaculate.
Very well said, and you make a good point, the Olympics used to be about putting aside politics and differences to compete. But now it's ALL ABOUT POLITICS.
Good things will come from this, not just for skating... Sasha will emerge even stronger after this experience and her flame will only get brighter
Not buying she is quitting either, huh? lol
@@coachleif Too much of the warrior in her I think and people love her for that, not because she satisfied the whims of a bunch of constipated judges and coaches, she brings humanity, heart and soul into the inhuman world of modern sport, where youngsters are shovelled into the machine and turned into circus monkeys, doing tricks for an insatiable public and all the corporate hangers-on, leeches feeding on the blood of kids
i actually understand her breakdown, eteri girls almost always never make it when they pass 17 so there is almost no chance that she would go to another olympics let alone an olympic gold. it’s gone again…
She has a Olympic gold in the team event at this moment. So all may not be lost.
In fact it‘s not really the case of Eteri right now. If you watch the last russian championship, u‘d see a lot of young girls from another coaches that show enormous results. Eteri was just the first one, but now not the only one raising competition among other athletes. Even without Eteri girls won’t really make it over 17-18, because of too high competition.
That‘s the reason why so many russian girls perform for other countries nowadays
@@gursharnharvey3282 No she doesn’t. Alexandra Trusova didn’t skate in the team event
I feel like Sasha and Anna won't have any beef in their rooms because she was more upset with her coaches and the judges rather than Anna. Also, I felt like the cameras focusing on her during that breakdown was wrong. I just felt like she needed to be alone and let her frustration out, alone. The coaches trying to comfort her was also wrong because you see her getting SOOO UPSET, just let her be. She couldn't even have a private room to cry in, she was trying so hard to hide her face behind a wall. Like let her be.
I cried for Sasha...I really cried😭 why my favorite skaters always get silver? Medvedeva and Trusova
Agreed it was so sad to watch Valieva's performance but I do think that the pressure just got to her.
Eteri should be permanently removed as a coach.
Sasha 😩😩😩For me , you are the 1st…
То, что случилось на этой Олимпиаде - это геополитика. Позор коррумпированным чиновникам, которые закрывают глаза на допинг спортсменов из других стран, а русских "полоскают" во все СМИ. Мы должны быть терпимы и внимательны друг к другу, стараться лучше понять истоки. Незнание порождает агрессию. В России всегда ценилось трудолюбие и упорство. Это в приоритете у всех выдающихся спортсменов. Получилось очень сумбурно, извините, но сил нет читать в комментариях о наркотиках и жестокости. Узнайте нас получше и Вы поймёте нас. Почитайте нашу историю, биографии выдающихся людей. И, может быть, тогда Вы поймёте, что могли заблуждаться.
OK, someone else agrees with me....I loved her. And this whole event was heart breaking!
to win, you don't have to be the strongest, you can win if you're the smartest. and thats what Anna did, she was very intelligent, and thats what Eteri said as well. I was rooting for Kamila then Sasha, at the beginning, but during the build up and to the their Olympic event i watched Anna carefully and realized how much smart and a hard fighter she is, and as she won i felt really happy for her, and similar to how she described it, you can't enjoy because of the mess that was about Kamila breakdown during her routine. I always said that it was the team management's fault for the whole situation that unfolded in China, not the athletes, those are just little girls trying to act as they were told to, but when you emotionally harass them they exploded, at that point the team and coaches i believe did not even have therapy specialists to handle that kind of situation, thats why it was a mess, and of course we all remember how the same thing happened in the previous Olympics between Alina and Evgenia, the same scenario where the coaches and team management are grooming Evgenia over the rest of the athletes, then Alina out performed her on merit and won the grand prize. Eteri and her coaching team are technically the best and highest caliber in FS in the world, but they really suck at social relations and PR level. and I hope they learn something for the future to improve in that area of their profession.
She sacrificed the Gold with honor and Humility and Humblness. Shes proud of herself and thats all that counts.
I almost think it's for the best, now she won't be persecuted by the media, accused that it's her fault that medals weren't issued, that was too much guilt put on her, so it's for the best right now, I feel so sorry for the girl.
Kamila is an excellent performer I do believe she sacrificed herself with poor performance so her fellow mates would win and receive their medals. I am sad that Alexandra was annoyed after all she won the Silver Medal. This Olympic Skating performance will go down in history not in a kind way. It is tainted it was not fair. Kamila is beautiful, has grace and poise her skating was amazing. I hope to see her in four years and pray she wins the gold.
@@twilightpurpleglow I think her coach asked her to.
Option 1, she wins gold or a medal. No ceremony for anyone and will be THE story of the Olympics, what will happen wit her and is it fair?
Option 2, she ‘falls on the blade’, sacrifices for the team and her well being. She is no longer the main story, ceremony can happen and now Olympics can focus on other athletes. Come back stronger in 4 years.
What would you do?
Trusova, baby....I love you. Forever😭 my favorite skater of all time
At Least Everyone Got To See What A True Talent Valieva Is & What She Can Do - Before They Broke Her Spirit & It All Crumbled - So Sad!
If you want it to be about gracefulness, put it in an arts competition with ballroom dancing and ballet. It should not be in the Olympics. Olympics should be about sports.
I think they should put all "sports" where judges are required to evaluate artistry, in their own separate competition for those who want to admire grace. Call it what you like "physical art" maybe.
But keep the Olympics for sports, where we can admire those who are objectively the most athletically skillful.
For 20 years I have been remembering that there are always problems in women's competition in the Olympic competition. There is always someone wrongly judged
2002,2014,2022??
They could had allowed trusova in team event women freestyle.
Why did they pick Kamila in team event?
@@aura53 no one knowswhy kamila in free event of team competition. In team event Russia was quite ahead of other countries, and last program was of women free skate. Kamila had already participated in short programme. But till last minute no one knew who was going on rink. Later it was again kamila. And no doubt trusova was doing best in free programme. If they had allowed trusova, she could also had gold with kamila and Anna. May be Kamila was eteri’s favourite .
I watched this and Eteri T needs banned forever. I'm a Kamila fan 100%
Eteri needs to go to jail. This isnt the olympics or even figure skating anymore. Its a circus
sorry, but for what? lol
Are you crazy? For what? 😂
@@yasyales for abusing and exploiting these young girls. Have you seem the way they're treated? Kamila got yelled at by eteri after placing 4th. Alexandria was overheard yelling at eteri saying "you knew this was going to happen", nearly all of their girls have all sorts of injuries after they reach their "peak"
@@DiliaraEnglish are you kidding me? Have you not seen the extent of abuse these girls have gone under??
I don’t think she (Trusova because of the mysterious broken skate incident while Plushenko was her coach) would be safe in Russia as long as Eteri has a choke hold on Russian skating. Maybe she can have a longer career in Canada or France? In the end all I wish for is for these girls to be happy and safe. Because all this drama really exposed the toxicity in women’s figure skating. I feel bad for these girls because we should be celebrating their successes not worrying about their mental and physical health. Also, I hope that Kamila gets a chance to show the world how much of an amazing skater she is without all of this scandal around her.
It seems like many of the girls that have left Eteri for Canada’s Orser, seem to go back to Eteri. It’s short sighted in a sense because her coaching also seems to end up with the youngest retirements and injuries to skaters. It’s a real shame that she only seems to care about gold and not the health and longevity of these young girls.
@@jenniferjames346 They only go back to her out of desperation when they realize the scoring system is rigged against them if they're not with her. In the case of Medvedeva, she was stuck in Russia during the pandemic and gravitated back to Eteri. It didn't last long.
All the Russians are overscored, BUT Sasha tends to be the Russian that is the least overscored compared to Anna and Kamila. IF Anna's lutz was called and her edges called correctly, she may have lost to Sasha....I mean, come on people, she was only ~6 pts behind Sasha's technical score. PCS is so subjective. Some people like ballerina style while others prefer strong and physical styles. If Nathan can get the PCS scores, why can Sasha not?! Let's not bully a 17 year old. How would you all feel after achieving 5 quads and losing to someone with 2 quads with crappy technique? Anna's constantly doing the same emotions and facials, nothing really changes in her programs.
Exactly , Ana is so boring .. this looks like set up
У Анны не паршивая техника!!! У Саши нет артистизма, один атлетизм.
Agreed. I think the judges need to be relaced with younger ones with less tunnel vision on what PCS scores should be about. Not every artistic person needs to be balletic. I find Trusova not only exciting but also captivating, while Anna puts me to sleep.
Trusova 3A was self sabotage. Honestly they wanted Anna to be the champion because she didn’t leave Eteri for plushenko. For Kamila I hope that she will be okay but I think that they have asked her to lose because an interesting theory said that they asked trusova to let Anna have a better performance than her in European to make sure that the last spot will be for Anna and not Liza
Liza is in the past for a few years, she’d never go to the Olympics. She’s pretty much an entertainer now
Бред
A 2 axel would be no different. Anna would still have won
@@yugiohlegendI think that a 2 axel and more artistry in her program could have make the difference

@@alinareybey3263 do you understand that short program doesn’t matter that much? It’s fewer points than free skate. Like 2x fewer.
@@pokerqAK47 it still matters though lol 😂🤦🏼♀️
I agree with your opinion. I feel really bad for all of them including the Japanese girls. Everyone had it bad. No need to go over Trusova and Kamila. I feel bad for Anna when she went to her spot and no one cheered for her win and how she was shocked she actually won. Then, the underscored Japanese girls, Wakaba and Kaori. I guess quads are the reason Anna tops Kaori but if that was the case, was 5 quads per FP not enough to shield Trusova from her 3A mistake in the SP? I'm a big fan of Anna but I'd rather not her win gold if it's so badly marred to the point it might not be a good memory at all. I was rooting for Sasha's first or only gold at the Olympics, so that's another reason I felt so bad about her. Then, there's Kaori with a beautiful program that I felt could've been worth gold as well. I feel so bad for everyone. The only thing I'm happy about is the Japanese hugging when Kaori won.
Yea, I feel like Anna couldn't really appreciate her win because of the whole drama. I hope she gets to feel it when she gets back to Russia.
I don’t think any of us watching that free skate thought she could make that many mistakes in her program, there’s something up and I hope they can get some answers, I wonder what’s going to happen when they get back to Russia I fear for Valieva’s mental health this is a lot for a 15 yr old, so if she was told to throw the skate or it was just the pressure and scrutiny of it all either way she definitely needs to see someone for her mental well being. I certainly want to see more of her in the future she is absolutely one of the best skaters I’ve seen in a while, may god bless her and her family.
I feel so terribly sorry for especially Kamila Valieva. I cannot believe that our society is able to basically witch-hunt a 15-year-old and break her down publically, literally in front of the whole world. The timing is so strange, too. What a shame! And what a shame that we could not have seen her perfect performance, she is marvelous. As to Trusova - a bit is lacking there, not in the jumps or technique, but she simply has not the art and elegance the other girls do.
This doping issue is a complete bullshit! Very questionable and open to manipulation. This is a shame for Olympic Committee and World Anti-doping Agency. Put those medals into your proper organs! Kamila Valieva is the champion of my heart.
Well, I was pulling for Kamila, too but you need to get real! The Russians have a long, corrupt and devious history of doping their athletes for the Olympics and you need to address it like everyone else. Doping is a slap in the face to everyone who plays by the rules and yet the coaches and other handlers of Russian athletes seem to think it is in their best interest to cheat anyway. It needs to stop. Shame on those adult Russians who put Kamila in this position. What they have done is disgraceful. Kamila is the best skater in the world and she deserved much better than this.
She was not robbed. As a matter of fact, I was surprise she made the podium at all, she had a couple of errors in her routine. Also, she should be careful what she says, because the media is a mess maker.
Are you crazy, her base points for free skate is almost double of whatever that third place girl showed 😂
@@pokerqAK47 points - may be, but Anna is better figure skater, more stable and professional
@Nor Ainsyah Anna is 3 times national champion, world champion and now olympic. And Sasha has nothing. She is only about jumps. But even the jumps she could not make clean in SP and FS.
Was hard to watch to say the least, the meltdown especially, I feel sorry for the girls, I hope the age limit is changed by the next Olympics.
They were already discussing changing it to 17+ for senior women this summer BEFORE this scandal broke, but now it's gonna be a lock. The only question is the timing of the rule. The original plan was for it to take effect for 23-24 season, but they might just make it start next season (this Fall's Grand Prix events) now. Current skaters who are seniors would be allowed to still compete at this level but no new competitors unless they are 17+. Next Olympics will absolutely be 17+ only.
STOP with the BS. She’s 15 years old. How could anyone, much less a 15 year old, heel their head in the game after all of this. She is a victim here. An adult, or adults, did this to her.
I recognise that Kamila is a victim in this crazy situation.
@@sayomsskiver She is a skater, not an actress. What person, much less a 15-year old could handle such tremendous pressure that she must have faced.
@@sayomsskiver Thanks. I appreciate that. I'm a little defensive because I'm shocked an appalled by all the comments I'm reading about her. This is so tragic on so many levels. Anna is my favorite skater and I can't even be happy for her today because I'm so devastated for Kamila.
New info is emerging and Eteri's comments to Kamila when she came off the ice do not in any way indicate Kamila was told by her coaching team to sabotage herself.
@@totesgene Thanks for letting me know that!
I think she told the same to medvedena when zagitova won
All just babies really! So much trauma! No 15 year old can make such decisions. It makes me sooo sad for all these kids! The coach needs to be put in her proper place! I’m rambling too. Thanks for this!
I can’t help but have the same feeling as you. She was not herself at all, even in her short program, Kamila had EMOTION…even after the media scrutiny. But showed nothing in her free skate. I hope her tests weren’t tampered with and I could be completely wrong!! Just a feeling.
During her testimony, she admitted to mistakenly taking the drug that belonged to her grandfather. And they showed his prescription for it during the conference. So, her test weren't tampered with.
@@ar1__x86 oh my, that was a big mistake. That explains a lot of the truth… if that is truly the honest truth.
@@ar1__x86 she did not admit to taking her grandfathers medicine. They put that forward as a possible explanation for how the drugs were in her system, especially considering the negligible amounts detected. They have asked for the B sample to be analyzed because they believe the lab is in error.
@@jonhoops1 those tests are so faulty it wouldn’t surprise me if it were a bad test!
@@jonhoops1 Sorry yes you are right, that was her possible explanation
So sad for Valieva!!!She gave medal to Cherbakova. Kamila is the best!
I agree, that Kamila just sacrificed herself for the countries and teammates sake.
About Trusova. She insisted on tripleA in the short program, it was her own free will. She was obsessed for doing all those jumps
Sasha has been told not to throw the triple axel, but she doesn't listen.
Comments were made that it didn’t matter if the triple axle was done poorly or whatever that she would keep doing it in the short program because she could make up the points in the free skate. Supposedly said by the skater who was stubbornly saying SHE would not take it out of the program. Maybe the girl was TOO sure if herself. Backfired. Still silver so she shouldn’t be snubbing her nose.
Trusova said “ I never get gold, no matter the competition I never medal and everyone does. I am done with this sport and these judges, I do not want to step on the ice again (then refused to step up the podium and Eteri pushed her to go even while crying)”. Just terrible, these coaches make them crumble to think that’s all they are worth, filling their head with goals and triumphs yet dispose them and take 40% of their winning income. I’m done with skating too screw the ISU for putting all this to happen in one of the biggest platform. I am happy for Anna for mentally focusing on herself but she well knows now she will be disposable as Evgenia, Alina, and now Kamila. I hope Alexandra and Anna seek new coaches even if it means Plushenko or Mishin. I love Anna but was rooting for Alexandra for putting it all on the line but many mistakes in SP and FS and low artistry was expected for 2nd, glad not 3rd. As for Kamila her implosion seemed planned. Eteri had to tell her give it up. The dream is gone. Probably promising her the world after this fiasco. Kamila didn’t even feel the music and was pre rotating aggressively almost pushing to make mistakes. Just tragic event, happy for Anna but even she feels empty. This ruined the most vowed event in these games. I hope the coaches face a sanction. It has bruised the sport and shame on the ISU for not having a proper execution to this event.
There’s no way valieva did this failed routine on purpose. Trusova has zero skating skills, that’s why she came in second. Honestly , trusova was overscored in the short
Eteri needs to be banned. I wonder if Valieva blew it on purpose.

И если мы идём к Победе, к результату нас ни остановит ни боль, ни усталость! Наши девочки - фигуристки - достояние Мира! Наслаждайтесь, а не критикуйте! Наслаждайтесь Сашей: ее упрямством, своеволием и трудолюбием! Анной: ее артистизмом и работоспособностью и Камиллой - это дар нашей планете! Мир погряз в злобе и ненависти, а эти Ангелы спасают нас! Мы на мгновение сами становимся лучше, чище, красивее, глядя на их выступления! И благодарить за это нужно Этери, ее талант! Хватит говорить про наркотики и жестокость! Это несправедливо! То, что случилось на этой Олимпиаде
This olympics is a fucking dumpster fire. Side note: i love your accent and your voice xo
thoughts in short: love love kaori and so happy for her. eteri needs to be LOCKED UP (the same woman that bragged about using banned drugs a couple years ago, who knows how long shes been doping these girls and getting away with it). that whole camp deserves jail time. anna looked sad and lost. sasha..damn that was tough to watch. but also i see your point on her being set up because her programme design is so ugly and empty literally just crossovers and quads, however she lacks the artistry needed from an OGM. also the camera men fully disrespected them damn, while sasha was having a breakdown they were chasing her...
what a sad end to kamilas career
In my opinion, coach change won't help Trusova, that's her maximum.
You might be right, she also might be a bit stubborn towards taking advice from coaches.
She was executed before the eyes of the whole world ... Those who organized and executed it are soulless.SHAME ON YOU...AND NOW FEEL SORRY FOR KAMILA...YOU DONE IT!!!
I done it??? I'm not her coach and I don't even get many views tbh. Most of my videos focus on Eteri not Kamila, she's a victim in this situation.
My conspiracy theory is that Eteri and co encouraged Sasha to include the 5 quads in her FS because they probably counted on her not landing them all. That's how they held her back all these years since she became senior in favor of other skaters like Kosternaia or Shcherbakova. Today, everything clicked, Trusova landed all 5 quads and their whole scheme backfired. That meltdown after the FS should be enough to expose them. On the other hand, Trusova was spectacular and made history, but let's be real, she lost the gold in the SP. A simple 2Axel would have sufficed and today would have been a different story.
Вы не правы, саше всегда говортли, чтобы не делала 5 квадов, но она уж упертая, это ее цель, как и 3 аксель. Она сказала это на прессконференции
2A would not have closed the gap. She needs inflation.
Hat man bei Anna auch so genau bei den Kanten geschaut wie bei Sascha? Ich glaube nicht. Leider kenne ich mich damit nicht aus, aber in einem anderen Beitrag wurde genau das geschrieben. Auch Pluschenko hat schon die Frage gestellt, wo die Punkte für Anna herkommen.
жюри всегда разное а оценки щербаковой всегда такие же
@@Гексли07-ж5м th-cam.com/video/aShCCW5mhJg/w-d-xo.html Ich hoffe, dass Trusova noch die Goldmedaille bekommt und dass die Sache ein riesiges Nachspiel bekommt. Man kann Sascha nicht auf so schäbige Art und Weise veralbern und für dumm verkaufen.
seems to me they were all in a pressure cooker sooner or later its going to bubble over or explode, when they all started crying i started crying, i'm emotional for a big guy, it got to me, they just kids after all, to me at least, they did their best and one was mislead, i love them all and give them my blessings. hope they feel better one day, but wow. when the one girl said i'm not going to the podium oh, the tears shed here, poor girl. bless her heart.
Proof that the world has gone mad really nothing is sacred anymore nothing absolutely nothing and you are correct this poor young girl will suffer most of her life.. but I think it is a lesson to all... You are going to get caught no matter what they tell you 💔💔💔💔💔 praying for this child though I know she is a brat she is still a child.. and what they have done to her is just outrageous
What happened to Kamila is so f*****g sad. How Could it even be? I hope her to be the next World Champ.
Well said thank you for making these commentaries. This is a sad ordeal, I hope all the young ladies find healing.
Trusova doing 3 axel and she doesn't listen to coaches......
Trusova should switch to Brian Orser (the same coach that evgenia medvedeva switched to) Hes a Canadian coach and maybe it’s just cause I’m Canadian and I LOVE Sasha Trusova, she’s such a talented skater.
umm sasha was the one who chose to do the triple axel lmao YOU are the one making up this drama and making the situation messy. She took the risk instead of going the safe way which I respect a lot, sadly it didn't help her but yeah figure skating fans are always talking about how dramatic and messy eveything is when for the most part they are the ones creating the drama and spreading lies GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT before spreading misinformation and stating as facts
Yes there's much Drama . Queens on the ice. Can't believe that NBC news commentators fell from beautiful to ugly. You would think that since they were on the ice they would behave with class, they fell to the bottom and we are all confused. But we will stay tuned because we all 💕 love Drama. But people these are young girls.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ETERI'S CAMP. They win EVERYTHING. Kamila's case was an external atack. Sasha is known for being a stubborn kid, she wanted to perform 3A at all cost, and it costed her the gold medal. She also had problems with the toeloop (quad and triple)...that's all.
I believe she was told to self sabotage! That makes me even more sad! By the way, I see no fault of her here. They used her like a Rag Doll. She should leave Russia and go to somewhere in Europe or US to get better education and protection! She is still young and has so much talent to recover. I am disgusted by the US Media for what they have done but that's another subject! They are all laughing behind their fake sadness!
It was the WORLD media, she got caught with a banned substance on the world's biggest stage. Not just the US... I doubt Kamila was watching CNN..
Kaori Sakamoto should have won silver. Her routine was very beautiful and graceful, and she behaved with a sporting attitude.
Смешно. Математику до 100 изучают во втором классе. Соответственно и считать балы за прыжки можно посчитать во втором классе!
Anna deserve gold medal.
Anna is the best!
She doesn't deserves of massive allegations toward her. She was getting so much affected about it its so totally unfair 😪 😭
Not jealous by a long shot.....The only thing I worry about for Trusova is that in her outburst, if she were to expose this "coach" for what she really is, then her *life* could very well be on the line if she were ever to return to Russia.
Seems like the Russian camp is toxic... I don't know what you do about 2 skaters so upset with their performance and results that they don't even care that their teammate Anna won the gold. It's sad all around. Imo Anna deserved to win ..skating can't just be about quad jumps.
It's sad that a child was out in this place. She has no idea what she's taking. She trust people around her to make the right decisions and they let her down. Sad all the way around. Hope those girls get through this and get away from that Russian Camp. Come to America and skate in some Ice skating shows and make people happy and make lots of money.
In my heart I know Kamila is the gold medalist
