[Beijing 17th Archyde.com]–Camira Wariewa (15, Russian Olympic Committee = ROC), a figure skating girl who was a leading candidate for the gold medal before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, was caused by a sudden doping turmoil during the Games. In an unusual situation, he finished in 4th place in the individual event and was crushed by heavy pressure.
Wariewa contributed to the victory as a member of ROC at the group held on the 7th. He performed as well as his previous reputation, but shortly afterwards a doping problem arose. He was found to have tested positive for the banned drug “trimetazidine” in a doping test last December, causing a turmoil over whether he could participate in the single short program (SP) on the 15th.
Eventually, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) approved the participation, and Wariewa ranked first in the SP despite some mistakes, but criticism continued to grow. In the free time on the 17th, which was held in the hustle and bustle, he made a series of mistakes and did not reach the podium.
Wariewa endured the icing at the beginning of the quadruple salchow, although the icing was disturbed, but the following triple axel (three and a half jumps) greatly lost the balance and the rotation was insufficient. In addition, the quadruple toe loop was disturbed by icing, and the combination of three-turn salchow fell.
Even in the latter half of the quadruple toe loop, he fell and continued to make mistakes. At the age of 15, he was far from what he was before the tournament, where his overwhelming sense of stability and acting ability were highly evaluated. After the performance, he covered his face with both hands, and kiss and cry showed that he was deeply mentally damaged, such as crying.
Meanwhile, coach Eteri Tutberidze asked the distraught Wariewa, “Why didn’t you do anything? Explain to me. Why did you stop fighting altogether? I gave up after the accelerator.” rice field.
Former U.S. representative Ashley Wagner said on Twitter, “I have to say that she is a purely poor child. She shouldn’t have been on the ice cream.” It ended.
