IOC president Thomas Bach 'very disturbed' by Kamila Valieva's performance
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Friday that he was "very disturbed" by Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva's disastrous performance the night before, while also ripping members of her inner circle who did not visibly support her.
In his first comments on the Valieva story, which he called "very sad," Bach said he watched Thursday night's long program on television and was struck by the pressure that Valieva, 15, must have been feeling. He said he struggled to watch her struggle through her program and repeatedly try to compose herself.
"This pressure is beyond my imagination, and particular for a girl of 15 years old," he said.
Bach also ripped Valieva's "closest entourage," in an apparent nod to her controversial coach, Eteri Tutberidze.
Immediately after Valieva's performance, which dropped her from first place to fourth, TV cameras captured Tutberidze asking critical questions of her 15-year-old pupil. According to Russian news outlets, she asked Valieva, "Why did you stop fighting? Explain it to me, why?"
