Chinese fans of Kamila Valieva, the 15-year-old skater known as 'Baby K,' have turned on a Russian newspaper for its apparent scapegoating of her.
Fans were hopeful on Thursday when footage emerged showing Valieva practicing on the ice. The star athlete, known affectionately as"Baby K" in China, is favorite to win the women's singles next week. Her Chinese followers lamented the cloud now hovering over her performances and expressed doubt about her alleged use of trimetazidine.
The teenager made history on Monday when she became the first woman to land a quadruple jump at the Olympics—performing the feat twice during her routine., the positive sample in question was obtained before Valieva competed last month at the European championship, where she placed first and set a new world record in the short program. The newspaper didn't say when or how the test came to light and was brought to the IOC's attention.
