Against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower, the American figure skating team finally experienced the golden moment they were denied in Beijing when it emerged that Kamila Valieva, the 15-year-old who had helped the Russian Olympic Committee to gold in the team event, had tested positive for a banned drug.
Valieva tested positive for trimetazidine, a banned drug that prevents angina, at the Russian national championships in December 2021 in the run-up to Beijing. Her team said the positive test could have been due to a mix-up with her grandfather’s heart medication. The legal battle that ensued caused other teams to remain in limbo for years, wondering if they would ever see the medals they had won in Beijing.
Valieva, the first woman to land a quadruple jump at the Olympics — doing it during the team event — was allowed to compete in the singles despite the news of the positive test. She had been favorite to win the Olympic title but missed out on an individual medal after dropping to fourth place with an error-laden free skate.
