Yes awful for herLobby wrote: Thu Feb 17, 2022 3:17 pmAll the pressure got to her, and she fell over on four of her jumps. As a result, she slipped from 1st place to 4th and didn’t get a medal. She ended her routine in floods of tears.
Awful for a 15 year old to have to go through that.
Indeed, although 1st and 2nd still went to Russians (who are unlikely to be any cleaner than she was).SaintK wrote: Thu Feb 17, 2022 3:21 pmYes awful for herLobby wrote: Thu Feb 17, 2022 3:17 pmAll the pressure got to her, and she fell over on four of her jumps.

Possibly the best outcome for everyone else competing

At least it means they won’t have to take a medal away from her at a later date, and they can at least hold a medal ceremony. You still have to feel for a 15 year old girl being put in such an awful position.
It was the plan all along!SaintK wrote: Thu Feb 17, 2022 3:35 pmAaah bollocks!!!!Lobby wrote: Thu Feb 17, 2022 3:26 pmIndeed, although 1st and 2nd still went to Russians (who are unlikely to be any cleaner than she was).SaintK wrote: Thu Feb 17, 2022 3:21 pm

And just to prove they are cunts:
It was "chilling" to see the "cold" way distraught Kamila Valieva was treated by her Russian coach after falls in her figure skating routine at Beijing 2022, says International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach.
Valieva, weighed down by a doping scandal and questions over the wisdom of allowing her to compete, came fourth on Thursday after several mistakes.
There was no hug and no comfort for the 15-year-old from coach Eteri Tutberidze when she came off the ice, instead she was asked "why did you stop fighting? Why did you let it go? Explain it to me, why?"
Apparently that "coach" is known for destroying teenagers.Lobby wrote: Fri Feb 18, 2022 8:10 amAnd just to prove they are cunts:

So apparently it's cultural... we just don't understand the stick over carrot approach...laurent wrote: Sat Feb 19, 2022 7:28 am https://www.bbc.com/sport/winter-olympics/60427119
Now that's clearly not a nice woman.
Is that out of the ordinary? What is the shelf life for figure skaters in the olympics? It seems like you peak between 15-17 and are washed up by 20.laurent wrote: Fri Feb 18, 2022 9:49 amApparently that "coach" is known for destroying teenagers.Lobby wrote: Fri Feb 18, 2022 8:10 amAnd just to prove they are cunts:

Zagitova, Medvedeva, Lipnitskaya were all wrecked after 1 olympic showing.
Successful in terms of medals.. not in terms of child abuse...Calculon wrote: Sat Feb 19, 2022 2:27 pm So basically you have to be a skinny teen to have a chance of winning and children and teens are more receptive to harsh training methods than adults. Wether those methods are necessary I don't know but they have been very successful.
Exactly one of the reasons I'm not a fan of the Olympics.Calculon wrote: Sat Feb 19, 2022 2:27 pm So basically you have to be a skinny teen to have a chance of winning and children and teens are more receptive to harsh training methods than adults.

Not exactly like the west in things like gymnastics has been great recently. Training for these type of sports is harsh.Blackmac wrote: Fri Feb 18, 2022 11:24 am If that was the west, Social Services could easily make a case to remove that kid from the care of these cnuts. Clearly not fit and proper guardians.
