Rion Sumiyoshi landed quad toe at 2023 GP France at 20 years old. Whether it was clean or not was debatable, but the TP & judges cleared it with +1.76 GOE.

I've been involved in several competitive sports up to the senior international level for over 50 years and I don't know what you mean by "TE". Nor does Google AI, although it makes an attempt to suggest several other abbreviations "for which 'TE' might be an error or misunderstanding". Definition, please?
Therapeutic Exemption, fan slang for official Therapeutic Use Exemption, also known as backdoor doping. As Russian hackers once proved by hacking WADA, the loudest screamers about state doping come from the countries with the highest number of issued TE for backdoor dopers.

Ah. That explains why I've never seen the abbreviation.

Too equivocal? Technical elements? Tight end? You tell me, gurl.
Maybe fewer acronyms so we can understand WTH you are saying. TYVM.

Okay, well now scrolling up to see your reply to another poster I see you're saying TE is a Therapeutic Exemption.
It's actually properly/commonly referred to as a Therapeutic Use Exemption (or TUE): https://www.wada-ama.org/en/athletes-support-personnel/therapeutic-use-exemptions-tues#
Not to state the obvious, but no Olympic medals have been stripped because an athlete had a therapeutic use exemption (TUE). Medals are instead stripped when anti-doping rules are violated — for example, the use of banned substances without a valid TUE or other rule breach.
There is no meaningful (statistically significant) correlation between having a TUE and winning an Olympic medal in a study from 2010-2018
(and a very low percentage of athletes from the top countries, have had TUEs https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/bjsports/54/15/920/DC2/embed/inline-supplementary-material-2.pdf)
Obviously, TUE has no relevance in the case of Valieva, as she wasn't exempted/allowed to have TMZ - hence, the stripped medal.

In other words US athletes get 4 times more TE than Russians. Canadian - twice more. Some gymnast couldn't even compete in Tokyo after Japanese didn't allow the drug to the country. But Wada gives a TE for drugs that are not even allowed to enter some countries. Lol
I thought TE meant team event. Silly me.
I just continue to gain respect for Ilia for his professionalism and maturity in handling this monumental defeat. The pressure got to him. As his long program vocals stated, "The only thing you know is that you know nothing."
Take a year off and go to college, stay skating if that means more right now. See how you feel and skate in a couple years and then decide about the next Olympics. I hope we see Ilia then, he is a credit to the sport.
