It became known about the removal of the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva from further competitions at the Beijing Olympics. It is reported by “Sport-Express”.

Amid suspected anti-doping rule violations, the 15-year-old athlete will not be allowed to participate in the individual tournament in single skating at the Games in Beijing. The final decision on the figure skater’s case can be made after the end of the Olympics.

Also, the Russian team faced the threat of deprivation of awards in the team tournament. Russian figure skaters became the best, and Valieva won the short and free programs.

Earlier, Inside the Games released information that the previously unnamed skater, whose test was considered doubtful, is 15-year-old Valieva. During the team tournament, the 15-year-old skater made figure skating history by becoming the first woman to complete a quadruple jump at the Olympics.
