Just watched her crash. OMG. So sad.
Yes. I stayed up late just to watch her. 
Racing is definitely 80% mental and 20% physical. Watching her interview now and just want to tell the interviewers to bleep off. Leave her alone!!

Oh, I feel so bad for that little girl. I would say that the adults around her should be ashamed, but Iâm not stupid enough to think that they are capable of that. No one to hold her.

Itâs been agonizing to watch her. I feel for her. I donât think she has to do the interviews, she is choosing to. Itâs clear she is kind of trying to work out whatâs happening by talking it through.

Sad ending to a sad saga.

When I said âI wish someone would fall on their sword,â I didnât think it would be the 15-year old skater âtaking the fall.â Wow. 
SoâŠI have a question. When it was found out that this young skater tested positive for a banned substance in December (apparently found out after she actually skated in the team event), why wasnât a test done IMMEDIATELY to determine if this was still in her system?
If this was a one off, as they are claiming, because of medication her grandfather tookâŠby the beginning of February, she would not have tested positive for it, right?
There certainly is must be the ability to do this testing on the Olympic site. If not, that needs to change too.
OhâŠand why was a test done in December NOT reported with results until February!

I think they are blaming Covid for the delay??? The testing site was shut down for a while and I guess they do reach out to others to confirm their result???
The sample was collected on December 25,2021 at the Russian nationals and sent to a lab in Sweden and not processed right away. Apparently due to Covid delays.

And they have no testing capabilities AT the olympics? 
Sure there is. A couple of athletes got kicked out of the Olympics for testing positive DURING the Games. The skaters and all others test frequently at the Games.
Athletes can also get tested randomly out of competition.

SoâŠwas Kamila tested again in Beijing? If notâŠwhy.
You bet she was tested more than once.
Here is an example of one athlete testing positive at the Games:
SoâŠwhat were the results? Was this banned substance still in her system when she competed in Beijing?
It doesnât matter if the drugs were still in her system or not. If she tested positive, she should have been banned when they got the test results. Thatâs what Tara and Johnny said, anyway.
