2022 Olympics: Women's Free Skate

[whatif]

Kicking?

Yes, she was physically pushing away all the coaches, Russian officials, and Chinese rink staff as they were trying to convince her to get on the ice.

 

[yelyoh]

So so so sooooooo happy for Kaori Sakamoto.

 

[Demandred]

Someone on another site said that Trusova was yelling at Dudakov "Everyone has gotten the gold medal except me!!!!", she is really not taking this well.

 

[Greengemmonster]

Silver lining: Sasha's tantrum certainly gives the skating world something to talk about besides the scandal.

I've never seen anything like it!!!!

 

[brens78]

Live it up Kaori! You’ve earned that moment

 

[Plisskin]

I watched the NBC broadcast and Johnny translated, saying he thinks she's upset because she didn't win gold.

 

[FlyingFeather]

Anobody's watching the backstage live feed now? Trusova is more upset than Valieva, kicking and screaming "I hate this sport!!!!".

I think we all do right about now.

If Alexandra doesn't want to go to the podium (for whatever reason) then fine, no medal for you. Have some respect and dignity. This is not sportmanslike at all. Extremely shameful.

 

[labgoat]

Sasha Trusova is the most magnificient jumper, and the most maleficent stylist. I respect her choice to do it her way but I do not enjoy this program at all other than the jumps. Into first.

Why? I honestly did not understand. She had a crappy SP where she was overscored and errors in the LP. And empty program

 

[rollerblade]

She is piss because she lose or because Kaori won bronze instead of her teammate?

Or a 3rd option: either she misplaced her podium dress, or she was told she's not allowed to wear her podium dress

No one ever scorn Trusova. This is some other level. People thought Surya was being petulant. Alexandra took that whole other level, but atleast still took the medal.

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

So I have missed WWFS, apparently? I decided not to watch the Russian skaters, and as such missed a disaster skate from Kami , but now we have lots of tears backstage? Sasha and Kamila are both breaking down? What is going on?

Jesus Christ what a poor sport. I understand she had a skate of her life, but this is not the way to go.

I regret I didn't prepare popcorn.

Logic does not apply here. She deserved it. Deserved it!!!!.....in her mind of course.

 

[onrsvm]

They ruined her carreer. Poor Kamila. She did not manage her nerves after all drama. She did not deserve this ending. I hate this Olympics completely +

 

[kan01]

If you don't want to know what happens in the slaughterhouse.... maybe don't eat the sausage....

Oh, please...

They did her dirty with the Team Event but here, she deserved only silver.

 

[Hyena]

For what it's worth, I don't begrudge any athletes at this level their strong emotions. I hope Anna and Kaori's joy at medaling is what they can take away most.

(Speaking of, in all this drama I just want to celebrate Kaori getting such a well-deserved Olympic medal!!!)

LMAO. WHo is everyone? Because so far only Anna won. Pairs are yet to come. Does she really think ROC will get Team Event gold?....
