The head of the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), Alexander Gorshkov, did not comment on the results of the women's singles short program at the Beijing Olympics, explaining that he was supposed to protect Russian athletes from foreign journalists.

“There will be no comments. I’m looking to protect from these jackals,” he said.

The short program of the figure skaters took place on the afternoon of February 15th. The first place was taken by Russian woman Kamila Valieva with 82.16 points. Another representative of Russia, Anna Shcherbakova, was next (80.20). Japan's Kaori Sakamoto came in third with 79.84. The fourth result was shown by Russian Alexandra Trusova (74.60). The girls' free program will be presented on February 17.

The ex-head of the ROC appreciated Valieva's performance in the short program of the Olympics 2022 Olympics Valieva as part of the Russian team won the team tournament at the Beijing Olympics, which took place on February 7. But after the end of the competition, it became known that in her doping test, taken back in December last year, they found a prohibited substance - trimetazidine (used to treat cardiac problems, but banned from athletes since 2015). Valieva had to seek admission to the personal tournament in Beijing through the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

On February 11, Valieva held a training session. After the end of classes, she refused to communicate with journalists, but one of the foreign journalists loudly asked Valieva if she had taken doping. “A foreign journalist began to ask Kamila questions about doping rather aggressively, although she was not going to stop and comment,” Olga Yermolina, press attache of the FFKKR, said. According to her, the British journalist cannot boast of a good upbringing.
