Or hand down( of course with uncalled UR) at JGP prior to yuzu but didn't ratified first succesful landing. Then can someone edit wiki? It just spreads misinformation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure_skating_jumps

February 10, 20224 yr from what I skimmed this article actually goes into more detail. Esp regarding eteris training methods and how they affected the athletes skating career once they basically hit puberty. It also talks about how detrimental quads are on young bodies. I really hope this is a gateway to further investigations and articles like with the US gymnastics thing but I have a feeling it won’t really
February 10, 20224 yr I can't see Russia doing much about the coaching methods with TE. Her students are successful, the judges love them, and the Russian public will believe the issues are the work of jealous westerners who don't work as hard as they do. Previous champions rarely speak out, if so they are criticized, and everything goes back to status quo. I'd love to be wrong about that. The rest of the world might have their eyes opened but for change more proof is needed. Starting to hope Yuzu doesn't do the gala. His sense of duty will probably compel him to do it, but considering how things have gone he has legitimate reason (injury) to exit and get out of there, for once just leaving and letting the ISU try to deal without their cash cow.
February 10, 20224 yr LOL! This hits the nail on the head. So true. I don't know whether I should laugh or cry.
February 11, 20224 yr 14 hours ago, Figure_Frenzy said: I hope WADA is successful with the appeal to CAS. Understandable if they target the athlete in question, but if anything the coaching team should be the one who gets the most brunt of the punishment. Sure the ROC will try to find a way to snake out of facing responsibility, but this time they really should get the heat, especially for endangering a minor's life like that. All the reporting in the US on this issue has concentrated on the adults, not the 15 yr old (though her health has been endangered). If the Russians and the ROC team is not stripped of their medal, it is the consensus, at least of US media, that if they can get away with this and not have a serious consequence, it's a slap in the face of every athlete in all disciplines who work and work and work and do everything by the book to be the best in their sport just to find out that doping does pay. Legitimate sportsmanship is dead. I can't see WADA or CAS not jointly condemning the RusFed (and I'd love for Eteri to be called out, but will be satisfied if they are penalized, as they should be.) It is a sad price for the Russian skaters who were in the team event to pay, but there is no other way for this practice to receive the condemnation it deserves.
February 11, 20224 yr WADA has already condemned Russia for doping so many times. The Russians just don't care. They continue to cheat, because they assume that the rest of the world is also cheating, and just lying about it to cover it up. Which is a shame, because their athletes really do work hard, and can win without doping. But now they all have this cloud on their reputation.
February 11, 20224 yr the site is crushing, so I copied whole thing Quote The International Testing Agency (ITA), leading the anti-doping program for the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, informs about the case of figure skater Kamila Valieva. First, the ITA stresses that Ms. Kamila Valieva, a member of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) delegation in Beijing, is a minor and therefore a ‘Protected Person’ under the World Anti-Doping Code – this status applies to persons under the age of 16. As such, the parties are not subject to mandatory public disclosure of her name or any case she might be involved in, instead any public disclosure must be proportionate to the facts and circumstances of the case. Seeing that some in the media did not grant her the same protection and have reported widely on the basis of unofficial information following the postponement of the medal ceremony of the figure skating Team Event at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, the ITA acknowledges the necessity for official information due to heightened public interest. To state the facts chronologically, a sample from the athlete was collected under the testing authority and results management authority of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) on 25 December 2021 during the 2022 Russian Figure Skating Championships in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The WADA-accredited laboratory of Stockholm, Sweden, reported that the sample had returned an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) for the non-specified prohibited substance trimetazidine (classified as S4. Hormone and Metabolic Modulators according to the Prohibited List of the World Anti-Doping Code) on 8 February 2022. Following this, the athlete was provisionally suspended by RUSADA with immediate effect. Pursuant to Article 15 of the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, the decision of RUSADA imposing a provisional suspension automatically prohibited the athlete from participation in all sports during the provisional suspension, including the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. As the sample was collected by RUSADA ahead of the Winter Games, this case is not under the jurisdiction of the IOC and thus not directly managed by the ITA. In line with the IOC Anti-Doping Rules, the ITA immediately informed the athlete that the provisional suspension imposed on her by RUSADA is binding upon the IOC and the athlete is prevented from competing, training, coaching, or participating in any activity, during the Olympic Winter Games. Due to the fact that this is not a case under the authority of the IOC and taking into account her abovementioned status as Protected Person, the ITA abstained from publicly disclosing the case following the notification in order to protect the athlete’s identity as a minor and to ensure that all necessary measures for her physical and mental safeguarding could be implemented. All the while all due legal processes were initiated. The athlete challenged the imposition of the provisional suspension before the RUSADA Disciplinary Anti-Doping Committee on 9 February 2022 and a hearing took place on the same day. On the evening of 9 February 2020, the RUSADA Disciplinary Anti-Doping Committee decided to lift the athlete’s provisional suspension, thus allowing her to continue her participation in the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022. The reasoned decision, including the grounds for which the provisional suspension was lifted, will be issued shortly to all concerned parties. Under the World Anti-Doping Code, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the International Skating Union (ISU), RUSADA and the IOC have a right to appeal the decision to lift the provisional suspension before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The IOC will exercise its right to appeal and not to wait for the reasoned decision by RUSADA, because a decision is needed before the next competition the athlete is due to take part in (Women Single Skating, 15 February 2022). Following the delegation of the IOC’s anti-doping program in relation to the Olympic Games to the ITA, the ITA will lead the appeal before CAS on behalf of the IOC. The proceedings on the merits of the apparent anti-doping rule violation, including the athlete’s right to request the analysis of the B-sample, will be pursued by RUSADA in due course. The decision on the results of the ROC team in the Team Figure Skating event can be taken by the ISU only after a final decision on the full merits of the case has been taken. The procedure, which is initiated currently, can only address the provisional suspension. Given that the legal process for this case is not finally concluded, the ITA will not provide any additional comments. Any further information on the case will be issued in form of a public statement. https://ita.sport/news/beijing-2022-the-ita-informs-on-figure-skater-kamila-valieva/
February 11, 20224 yr Katarina Witt's comment on Kamila's case: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZzCFTdg2JE/ Quote Those latest terrible olympic skating news, have honestly touched me. Kamila Valiyeva is a young girl and child prodigy, who’s highly difficult performances and grace enchanted the whole world at only 15, a minor, depending on adults and she is not to blame here. This scandal is a dramatic turning point for her young and promising career and I sincerely hope that there are enough people by her side to support, to protect and encourage her ❤️ As an athlete, you always follow the advice of your confidants, in this case she probably followed her coach and medical team. You are taught from a very young age to trust them, they know what's right for you and what's wrong!!Kamila has learned her quadruple jumps with infinite diligence and courage. No doping would have helped her to land these!!! And certainly it would not help her with her artistic charisma! It is a shame, and the responsible adults should be banned from the sport forever!!! What they knowingly did to her, if true, cannot be surpassed in inhumanity and makes my athlete's heart cry infinitely. I admire Kamila as a radiant star, who burst into the orbit of the international skating world, and I still very much wish she has come to stay. With her quadruple jumps and combinations, she shows maximum difficulty at only 15, which leaves me in absolute recognition! @kamilavalieva26 @olympics Foto Copyright Getty Images This post has been liked by Eteri Tutberidze
February 11, 20224 yr I couldn't sleep well last night, but you know what If Yuzu did land a perfect 4A with clean programs and somehow won olympics I feel he would have retired, because it was his max point he could ever reach in his career, but because he didn't, maybe that allowed him to think about postponing his retirement. He is kuyashii and the yuzu we know would never retire in a state of kuyashii lol

I might be misreading here, but if the IOC is appealing the overturn of her ban, these procedures are normally very long and drawn out, but women's sp is only 4 days away.
