[Beijing, 18th Reuters]–Bach, chairman of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), said on the 18th that Camilla Wariewa (Russian Olympic Committee = ROC), who finished fourth in the individual competition for figure skating girls, after the competition. The coaches criticized the response as “cold.”

The 15-year-old Wariewa was admitted to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after a doping breach and took the lead in the short program, but after making mistakes and falling in the free program on the 17th, he eventually sank to 4th place. ..

“I was very worried watching TV,” Bach said at a press conference. “The pressure would have been considerable.”

After the free performance, Wariewa left the link, hiding tears with both hands, but coach Eteri Tutberidze told Wariewa, “Why didn’t you do anything? Explain to me. Why fight completely? Did you quit? I was giving up after the accelerator. “

“I felt apathetic and distant rather than trying to comfort or reach out, and even worse when I looked at my gestures, there was a gesture to look down on her,” Bach accused.

On the other hand, the IOC said that there was not much to suppress the behavior of the players’ surroundings, and said, “In the end, it is a problem that requires the support of the governments of each country.”
