  1. Jim McKay was the last best ABC announcer …. garbage since

  2. The closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics… The cold intestines suddenly get hot. About 100 cast members flock like a high tide. As if he had won a gold medal, he waved and cheered. Even some start jumping in place. There is only one place where their eyes are directed. Soon after, Xi Jinping walks out of there wearing a red mask.Chairman Bach's speech only added laziness. The truth of this tournament shows better how he bends toward Xi Jinping at the opening ceremony. Where was the Olympic spirit, and there was no fair competition that the athletes wanted. The participants' whining about why to do such an Olympics is empty.

  3. Hopefully she gets new coaches or at least give her some therapy since this girl been through trauma.

  4. looks like shes holding a needle in the thumbnail

  5. Russia knew her test and yet they continue sending athletes with enhancing drugs to compete this seem to be a way of life in that country not one of her fellow country (fellow skaters show no sympathy). This is not the first international Russia done this . Some kind of banning for the next competition occur.She is still a baba someone made tat decision for her.

  6. She could have won gold, if they hadn't kept her in a court room for 7 hours prior to performing.

    They knew she was going to WI. Gold, because she just set the world record 2 months prior.

  7. It's disgusting how they doped up a fifteen-year-old

  8. Sayonara! Don’t let the door hit yah!

  9. We love you in America don't stop fire the coach and start over. Coach in America you're fired Donald Trump

  10. Shes 15. She is NOT a "child" & even a 5 yr old knows better. When ur arrogant and selfish u deserve to fail.

  11. Is it just my eye or the lighting or something but at 00:30 what age would you guess. Disclaimer I'm a dude not at all familiar with the whole figure skating but fun to watch sometimes esp fails and recovery. anyway no action vids available? I guess? for whatever reason

  12. So unfair to all the athletes who worked their entire lives to stand on those podiums and accept their medals at the Olympics where they should receive them. Russia- with their cheating and war-starting needs to be put in check. When does the world stop putting up with this crap?

  13. With all the assistance chemically she still failed. Now she's perceived as the victim. That's what you call pure foolery and privilege. Imagine these comments if she was black. Comedy.

  14. She had three types of medications in her system that boost endurance. She testes positive in December for a banned substance yet they allowed her to compete at the Olympics. It is a joke. She is 15 years old not 6 years old. She knew what she was taking and if not her, then her parents must have known and her team as well. It wasn't her grandfather's pills. The Russian team has not played under the Russian Federation. They play under the ROC which stands for Russian Olympic Committee because of the doping. They won't stop. The entire Russian ice skating team should not be allowed to participate at the next Olympics. I did not feel sorry for her crying for not being able to perform well without her doping pills. I felt sorry for her compatriot who was crying for not getting a medal while she skated wonderfully and without any endurance pills in her system. Shame on the IOC for allowing the ice skating team to compete at the Olympics.

  15. The Xinjiang Uighur human rights massacre, cultural invasion, Taiwanese ignorance, manipulation match, athletes' village waterfall, Wuhan coronavirus, pig-eating meals, rude and ignorant spectator manners, blind nationalism, and Chinese sports competitions, the conceptless Communist Party and Xi Jinping's pet dog, are finally over. Players from each country have officially requested the IOC and the International Sports Court to prevent any international competitions from being held in these underdeveloped countries in the future. Disappear from the earth… China…

  16. We all need to band together as a society & make sure the people responsible for this tragic situation are never allowed to repeat their actions. Keep them away from the talented but very human little girls. I love to root for U.S. athletes, but I never root against any Olympian they all sacrifice & work hard to be there & deserve respect. The Russian ladies have brought FS to a new level. The quads however are in my opinion destroying the sport & destroying careers of these young girls. Evegenia Medvedeva is probably the most beautiful skater ever & has fans all over the world. Her career was cut short by injuries caused by training jumps for so long. She now she has permanent back injury & had to retire way too early. The age limit needs to be raised & the scoring should reflect the beautiful qualities of skating much more than jumping. Watching a skater skate from one end of the ice to the other in order to jump, jump, jump is not pleasing to the eye & takes the drama, storytelling & beautiful skating out of the sport. I want chills, not spills. I hate to see any skater fall. I much prefer the athletes perform at their absolute best & have a great skate regardless of which country she represents. People are people & we all want the same things in life. I hope Camilla will recover & continue skating. She’s probably gonna be suspended for a while from international competition but she is young enough to last past it. I was also very impressed by Anna Schbakcova. Her skating is beautiful & her jumps are Gorgeous, spins are fantastic & her Bielman is beyond impressive. The flexibility & balance to do what she does is absolutely amazing. She also at the age of 17 showed great empathy & character under very difficult circumstances as her friends & teammates melted down. How many people would show such class hiding her excitement of winning a gold medal in order to not appear to be gloating. What an amazing competitor & champion & person she is. πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ€žβ€οΈβœŒπŸ»

  17. was it an upset or staged by the russian machine? The world got to see the russians on the podium. Now this is a comment against the machine that put these young girls in the spot light…for gains…my heart breaks for them….one of the most disurbing moments in skating that I have ever scene..and if we all thought Salt Lake City was the lowest of the low. All these young girls are at such grave risk.

  18. The whole drug accuse affected her mentally…. so sad

  19. This girl has suffered enough mentally !!! Shame on her coaches and country. She is truly a gifted skater with elegance unparalleled. Drugs did not assist her with her elegance or grace.

  20. shame on you Russia shame on you! Karma she lost!

  21. God has a sense of humor…. Lol
    #Karma

  22. Y PORQUE NO HABLAN DE LAS PATINADORAS AMERICANAS QUE SON UN FRACASO UNAS MEDIOCRES

  24. the media ruined her psyche

  25. Maybe they shouldn’t have young athletes in the Olympics, it’s a lot of pressure!

  26. Serves the cheater right. Maybe next time. Or matter a fact, just don't compete.

  27. Lol nobody feel sorry for you

  28. As a fan of Kamila, it breaks my heart. She is just 15 πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯ Whoever made Kamila take the dopes, she/he ruined the fragile little soul.

  29. Why is a 15 year old facing scrutiny and not that bullying out of control coach. That coach should be held responsible for the drugging of a minor.

  30. She died They killed her

  31. No more human guinea pigs at Olympics! Sick of this!

  32. This child was given 3 different heart medications.by these Russian coaches. Then they send her out to face this massive scandal alone Then they berate her for her performance. This is public child abuse by people that are supposed to embody the ideals of sportsmanship. That Russian coach should face charges for drugging that child.

  33. Hahahahah drug are really easy.

  34. The whole Olympics, especially judging and race starters have been massively rigged by the CCP, the Chinese and Putin and the FSB from the very start, anyone that can't see that is either blind as a bat or just plain biased….

  35. Well played! It so well planned..

  36. This bs about being under 16 and effectively having "Diplomatic Immunity" at the Olympics is a total joke.

    Otherwise, why don't we just pick all under 16's in our squads, load em full of as much dope as they can take while still standing and just say go out there and win.

    Then when their dope test comes back positive, oh well, you're under 16, you have Diplomatic Immunity, too bad so sad to all the other athletes playing fair and square….

  37. Did her coach put her up to this so the other 2 skaters could medal and lesson the pressure on the investigation?

  38. Someone should help her get away from them assholes her coach is a c##t

  39. She needs our love not our judgement

  40. They're doing a darn good job of not actually showing the fall πŸ€”

  41. Karma always comes back to bite u in the ass. Notthe first time these russians have done this

  42. She shouldn’t have been allowed to even compete. Nobody cares

  43. She still the best figure skater in the world. Medal or no medal she has earn my admiration and respect ✊

  44. I mean can you blame her for falling?

  45. I know very few people will agree with me on this. But, she tanked it. This was purposeful. She did exactly what she needed to do to place 4th. If she would have placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd then nobody would have received a medal. She did what she had to do to allow 2 of her comrades and one other Olympian have their moment. Even if she would have done just an "ok" job, she would have placed, then.. nobody would get a medal. Hey, I'm not criticizing. I think she's a hero.
