Sky, 17 Feb 2022
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has failed to win an individual medal at the Winter Olympics after falling several times during her routine.

The 15-year-old, who controversially failed a drugs test before the Games began, was left in in tears after making a series of errors in her free skate performance.

Valieva was cleared to compete on Monday in a decision contested by the International Olympic Committee, but overruled by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
