Funny thing is, Jap girl will almost certainly be beaten by a cheating 15-year old Russian, who really should be banned by now, but isn’t, because the IOC is weak as piss, and doesn’t want to “anger” Putin…
Even more amusingly, if said Russian (Salieva) medals, there is no medal ceremony, because of the bullshit legalese the IOC invented to justify the whole thing…
Absolute clown world.
This whole Olympics has been the biggest joke since Rio, or maybe even Sochi… 🤦🏻♂️
Must admit, Canada and the US failing in both the curling and the men’s hockey has brought me some degree of shadenfreude though, lol…
Oh, so that's what that was. I saw people talking about the figure skating and wondered why on earth anyone would care.
How do you cheat at a "sport" that has no win condition? It's purely subjective.
She was found to be taking some sort of banned heart drug, that may contribute to increased stamina and endurance, basically…
But she’s 15. Clearly she can’t have taken the drug herself, without it being (illegally) supplied by her coaches…
Bizarrely, that was the IOC’s argument for not banning her… Yet because the case is still ongoing, no one in her two events wins a medal, in the meantime, plus no medial ceremony… No one…
Fucking ludicrous.
Russia is just about to win Gold, Silver and Bronze in this event, and they are all under 18, and all from the same skating school, where the doping coach obviously comes from…
She got 4th. Arguably the pressure got to her, but I suspect the judges were told not to give her a medal, to avoid the controversy with the medal ceremony shit I mentioned…
All extremely dubious. Russia 1-2, but not her…
