Athletistic / Figure skating. American figure skater Vincent Zhou spoke about the emotions he felt after winning the gold medal in the team championship at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. The American team took second place at the games, but won gold after Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was disqualified for doping.

Valieva’s results were canceled. As a result, the International Skating Union recalculated the points, after which the Russian team fell to third place, behind the United States and Japan.

“I can’t even express the emotions I felt after the CAS decision.

A lot of people know I’ve talked about the fairness and equity that sports needs. When these values ​​are ignored in favor of the blind desire to win at all costs, such victory loses all meaning.

The last two years have not been easy, they have taken place in a strange state of uncertainty. Everything was turned upside down, the truth was ridiculed and silence hung over our dreams. I was losing hope.

Ex-choreographer of the Tutberidze Zheleznyakov group called on sports officials to investigate

I am infinitely proud of my team and grateful to the fans, I am honored to become an Olympic gold medalist,” Zhou wrote on social media.
