Women's figure skater spoiler

Russian doper girl leads after short program.
There is a lesson for us when wrong doing goes unpunished.

1. I hope she comes back clean for the '26 Olympics and redeems herself.

She's just a kid.

Hopefully the IOC bans that coach for life.

2. The whole Russian team

should have been aftershocks. Sochi.

[Old Crank]

6. That is the plan

The Russians have a history of one and done for girls in figure skating. This is a pattern and without punishment, it will continue. No medals for her if the B sample comes back positive. Ban their coaching group. She can continue to compete after this event.
If this is let go expect to see more of this from other teams or coaches.

3. She may win this one, but will always have that asterisk * hanging on her neck

[WarGamer]

4. And possibly no Gold Medal around said neck.

8. She'll get her medal.

The medal for the team competition depended on the arbitration panel’s decision. We’ve been told to move along because there’s nothing to see here.

But she should not be on the podium, and neither should her teammates.

5. Not holding my breath

For that to happen

7. Lipinski and Weir were right on.

Silence during the skate, no comments afterward except for reminding people that she doped, and that they are sorry this this overshadowing everybody else’s Olympics.

Lipinski, too, put into words how many of us feel. This kid has been amazing to watch. Joke’s on us all for thinking it was all due to natural talent, hard work, and dedication to the sport.

I hope the IOC and the drug arbitration people are happy with the shitshow they enabled. If the ROC sweeps the medals, I’m just fine with having no medal ceremony. Don’t further reward these cheating frauds.
