International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said it was “chilling” to see the “cold” way Kamila Valieva was treated by her Russian coach after falls in her figure skating routine at at the Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Valieva, weighed down by a doping scandal and questions over the wisdom of allowing her to compete, came fourth on Thursday after several mistakes.

There was no hug and no comfort for the 15-year-old from coach Eteri Tutberidze when she immediately came off the ice, instead she was asked “why did you stop fighting?”

Tutberidze, whose training methods were already under the spotlight, did put her arm around the young Russian while she waited for her score. But moments before that had demanded to know: “Why did you let it go? Explain it to me, why?”

Valieva is the subject of an anti-doping investigation after testing positive for angina drug trimetazidine. The World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) has also said it will be investigating Valieva’s entourage, including coaches, doctors and other adults surrounding her.
