At the same time, Hendrix noted that she could have won more medals without “Russian doping.”
“I’m lucky that the Russians are not performing well. But I still can’t do anything about it. I have to take care of myself, because we still have to try to get on the podium.
Plushenko commented on the transition of 12-year-old figure skater Kostyleva to her academy
Does the absence of the Russians devalue the medal? The situation is now ambiguous. I understand that I would have won more medals if figure skating had been absolutely pure. Take the case of Valieva. The three Russians on the podium have the same coach. And one of them turned out to be doped.
I always wondered how 14-year-old athletes could jump so well, but I still maintain the presumption of innocence,” Hendrix was quoted as saying by Humo.
