Though it should also be stated that Valieva was so heavily favored in this Olympics, before the doping scandal, because she is the rare skater who truly excels at both -- a phenomenal jumper with exquisite technique on all elements PLUS beautiful artistic qualities. One of the great losses of all this is that she is an extraordiarily talented and hard-working skater who is pushing the sport to new levels, and that would almost certainly have been true even if (presumably) her coaching staff were not doping her up. I wish we could have seen what she could have done with clean drug tests because we all lost something in what happened, not just Valieva and not just the Russians.[/quote]

totally agree with you. I think she likely would have been an amazing skater without drugs. She just had talent in spades. What a damn shame all around.[/quote]

But the thing is you CAN see what she's like.  She has tested clean on multiple comps before.  Her performances at age 8 or 9 are just stunning, and she wasn't even with Eteri back then. [/quote]

Oooooh. I'm going to google those.[/quote]

Holy cow- look at her at aged 5!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QViJduIx7Is[/quote]
