Description
IOC president Thomas Bach said Friday it was "chilling" to see how distraught Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was treated by her coach after falling several times in the Beijing Olympics final.
Bach said: "When I afterwards saw how she was received by her closest entourage with what appeared to be such a tremendous coldness, it was chilling to see this, rather than giving her comfort, rather than try to help her."
The International Olympic Committee chief told a news briefing that seeing Valieva's Russian teammate Alexandra Trusova also highly agitated despite the 17-year-old winning silver confirmed his concerns about the entourage around the young skaters.
