Russian Figure Skater Kamila Valieva Fails To Medal As Tara Lipinski & Johnny Weir Deliver Tense TV Commentary: 'Thank God'

Kamila Valieva‘s controversial time at the Beijing Olympics is over. The 15-year-old figure skater competing for the Russian Olympic Committee‘s team had been at the center of a very controversial situation after being allowed to continue to skate even after testing positive for a banned substance.

The International Olympic Committee had responded to the controversy by previously announcing that if she were to win a medal in the short program finals, they would not hold a medal ceremony.

And for most of the week, it looked as though that might happen, as Valieva was the favorite to win the gold. As we previously noted, that potential situation understandably caused much chagrin throughout the rest of the figure skating community.

But now, Thursday’s free skate finals have now come and gone, and Valieva did not medal. And the rest of the figure skating world is letting their opinions on the matter be known! Related: Leslie Jones BLASTS NBC’s Winter Olympics Coverage!
