Eat it russia …
Bring back Tonya Harding. She’ll enlighten the media more than this nonsense.
Getting a medal this way lmao no ceremony, no anthem 😂😂😂 two years after the fact . Kamila is the true victor here . ❤
The comments from Russians here are so funny claiming that Americans have to steal medals to place. They’re especially ironic when Russians are claiming Ilia as one of their own (even though he’s American) now that he’s proving to be one of the best. Also, Russians medal in figure skating, but American athletes perform better than Russia overall.
Катайтесь так,как Камила Валиева!Тогда золото будет ваше!Чемпионкой в сердцах миллионов любителей ФК есть и будет Камила!Теперь отобранное золото не украшает вас!
Russia people like to cheat
People throwing tantrums in the comments because a skater was found to have banned substances in her system and subsequently had a medal taken is ridiculous. No one is blaming Camila herself. This is an ongoing problem with her country. It's not a personal attack on her; it's a punishment of Russia.
Rules are rules, people. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Act like adults. It's not the end of the world. Don't get mad at the people upholding the rules, get mad at the people who broke them and compromised a talented athlete and her team.
Kamila Valieva is the best figure skater in the world. Valieva is far more talented and is better than Madison Chock. Madison Chock has no talent and is one of the worst skaters.
US team do not deserve the golden medals. But they can have those if dirty medals is their American dream
This is the only way a US figure skater will “win” gold, by forcibly taking it from a neck of a Russian.
What about Justin Gatlin
Они еще долго медальку не получат. Пусть терпеливо ждут.
double standards! Cox won a gold medal in the women's 4×400 m relay at the 2004 Athens Summer Olympics. Where is the gold medal for Russia? CLOWNS!
Let's all congratulate the US on the victory over justice !!! 😅😂🤣
Rock-paper-scissors Olimpics )) Shame theatre
To receive gold medals. Not to WIN gold medals. This sport is finished. Sport where Michelle Kwan is not Olympic champion and Karen Chen is.
Cold War 2.0
Commies never learn

Too hilarious how america uses racism for everything, even sports just so Russia doesn't beat them again, like in everything. 😂😂
Doped a 15 yr old…
Yep, the American team could not win in competition, but can win in the court. It is simple. Valieva is the figure skater from a different planet. International Skating Union does not need a competitor who is 30 points ahead of the second place. How else they can give gold medals to other women who do not have any quads in their programs. It is as old as the world : "Others want to win too even though it is the court decision, but they could not win in competition". I would respect American team if they refused to take gold because they know that Valieva did not have the positive test at the Olympic and competed without any "enhancement". I really regret that envious figure skaters are so happy that Valieva is disqualified and try to picture her as an evil doper. I do not believe that 15 years old can make any decisions what to take. She is a victim. with all my respect to the American Olympic team as skaters I must say that you did not win you are chosen to win. I am sure that there will be an appeal. As to Canadian team with their claim for bronze. You guys were worse than Russians without 2 programs. What a shame to make such claims. I hope that Johnny and Tara will keep silence about Valieva at Four continents' and World's championships. Otherwise, people will stop watching figure skating because of their political comments. Comment what figure skaters do on ice instead.
Canada should get the bronze medal and those cheats should be getting nothing.
The america is sick
Russians need to be banned from Olympics for invading Ukraine. Not to mention the doping problem. They will cheat to win.
This will not make Putin and his crony Trump happy
go to the hell
Nothing to do with European and World skating competitions without Russian skaters!!!!!
Nothing to see here.
Everyone knows that Kamila Valieva and the Russian team were by far the very best skaters, nothing can change that
she'll be back with a full beard and adam's apple for the next olympics. the russians won't screw up her doping taper twice.
There is no honor in the Olympic Games. If it was known that her tests were going to be scrutinized than she should have been disqualified from the beginning
Russia doping 15-year olds… sounds about right lol
Вы, американцы, получили медальку, но никогда не будете кататься так прекрасно, как это делает Камила.
Kamila Valieva did not dope. She is a victim and not a perpetrator. I feel so sorry for Kamila Valieva, she doesn't deserve that. Your fans and I will always support you, you can't let yourself get down.
Political decision which has nothing to do with sports.
I love DQ ice cream 🍨
That’s nice 😊
