Russian figure skater Alexander Gallyamov performs in pairs with Anastasia Mishina. Telegram-The channel called out to International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach and said that the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement are two different things for him.

“The Olympic movement is for me neither the damn Covid (yes, these were the most difficult games in modern history) nor the still unclear legal status of my lately shameless self: champion, medalist, participant – who am I to the IOC? – He wrote.

Gallyamov and Mishina were part of the Russian team that won the gold medal in the 2022 Games team tournament.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport disqualified Kamila Valieva, who was also a member of the team team, for violating anti-doping rules. The skater has been suspended for four years, effective December 2021. After his disqualification, the International Skating Union awarded the Russians third place in the team tournament of the 2022 Olympic Games, without depriving Russia as a whole of the medal. Gold went to the US team and silver went to the Japanese team.

As part of the Russian national team, dancers Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov and single skater Mark Kondratyuk also participated in the team tournament.

Previously Valieva starry in a barbecue commercial.
