Russian figure skater Valieva back on the ice after doping ban

Advertisements

When the positive test result came to light during the 2022 Games, a provisional ban was lifted by a court, with the youngster allowed to compete in the women’s singles event she had been favourite to win.

However, Valieva left the ice in tears after a number of falls and stumbles, with her performance only good enough for fourth place.

If she wishes to make an Olympic comeback, she must wait until 2030, having missed out on next month’s Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina.

Two Russian figure skaters – Adeliia Petrosian and Viktoriia Safonova – have secured places at the Games, but will have to compete as Individual Neutral Athletes (AINs) because the country is banned from many sports as a result of its war against Ukraine.
