Valieva treatment 'chilling' - Bachpublished at 06:11 Greenwich Mean Time 18 February 2022
The fallout from Russian teenage figure skater Kamila Valieva's error-strewn performance in Thursday's final continues.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach has condemned the "chilling" way she has been treated by her coach and entourage in the wake of the final.
Coach Eteri Tutberidze asked an emotional Valieva "why did you stop fighting?".
"When I afterwards saw how she was received by her closest entourage with what appeared to be a tremendous coldness, it was chilling to see this, rather than giving her comfort, rather than to try to help her," said Bach.
