@@marrrie2490i think they’re talking about kamila

[@zofilep3612]

They should have let her do her free in the Teams. She would have gotten gold, and so would the rest of the Russian team after Camilla's qualification. Honestly, I never understood why they chose Camilla for both short and free program. They were far ahead. They didnt need Valieva for this. They could have maximized winners and pleased more girls... This could have been avoided

[@lgt_jne]

Trueeee

[@tigremalabarista3461]

Exactly. I get so many Russians saying the restore is unfair, but has they even had one of them skate with Valieca,they stayed Gold. There was no rule in this team event that one athlete disqualifies the whole team in the team event even though it should’ve been there

[@mht4908]

They would've still lost by 1 point even if Sasha did the free (ROC originally had 74 shorts and the US had 65, so taking away Kamila's 10 points would mean the ROC is left with 64). The Russian team made a huge mistake by putting Kamila in the team event for both sections, it takes a lot of energy from the athlete, and considering she was the heavy favorite to win, why didn't they conserve her energy for singles? They only used 6 people when the other teams used 9, this would've conserved the energy especially for singles skaters. They could've let Anya do the short, and Sasha the free. That way (assuming the doping never happened), all 3 girls would leave as Olympic champions. Isn't that the point for all nations? To come home with as many Olympic champions as possible?

[@lgt_jne]

@@mht4908 I actually agree with that

[@silver9204]

@@paulkellerman2603it was something she was working for her entire life, not to mention the abuse she faced from her coaches. They promised her she would win if she landed 5 quads, a feat probably never done in women’s figure skating before this. She had a fantastic performance and then felt the heart wrenching disappointment from being beat by her also amazing teammate. She most likely felt betrayed even though it was neither of the girl’s faults, they both did amazing. There are speculations that both of them had connections to the olympic judges where it would be rigged to score them higher. Honestly that’s probably true considering we’re dealing with Russia. Anna came out on top though and couldn’t even enjoy her victory as everyone forgot about her surrounding all of the drama. It was a traumatic situation for the both of them and it was not their faults

Trusova en las Olimpiadas 2022 realizó una hazaña que dudo que alguna patinadora de la ISU o de Rusia puedan hacer en las siguientes 4 Olimpiadas. Pero lamentablemente hacer 5 quads (algunos con errores), la caida del SP y los excelentes programas de Scherbakova, no permitieron que ella gane el Oro. Trusova no tiene una medalla de oro en el nivel senior, pero a pesar de eso ella fue considerada una de las mejores patinadoras, una de las mas fuertes, asi como la Patinadoras que inicio la Nueva era del Patinaje Artístico Femenino Mundial....

[@mrniceguy3660]

And now she is loved more than anyone else on that ice

[@gishena]

For the people whod id not follow this closely - the Russian team had the same head coach to all skaters, i.e., the same woman who asked Valieva why she stopped trying while the latter was crying immediately after her FP blunder. Anyway, in the team's competition, they did not swap Valieva for Trusova, so Valieva initially got a gold medal. If they had 2 different skaters in the FP and SP, both of them would have won gold medals. In the end. only Anna got one, because Russia got DQ cuz of Valieva's drug test. Hope this helps!

[@skyward7903]

I'm just sorry for her. Anna deserved that gold, and I would award all 3 russian girls gold if I could :') Because they were ALL so so good! The strongest team in a long while. I know it hurts to play second fiddle for so long, esp when you work so hard. She created history with 5 quads, but unfortunately lacked somewhere else. Her mentor did not provide her with the creative training to channel her passion and determination onto the ice. She encouraged her fixation on quads because she was the best at it. This is our problem as society. We don't teach kids how to accept failures. We make them fear it, pressure them to think that their life is over if they don't win. But Silver at freaking Olympics is GOOD! Cheer up, Trusova. You did your best :)
