Bay Area Olympic figure skater Vincent Zhou announces he's tested positive for COVID and forced to withdraw from Beijing's Winter Games. In a raw and emotional video the skater said, "The enormity of the situation, the pain of it all is pretty insane." http://bit.ly/3srtkCI

It was so fun and entertaining to watch the Italian Mixed Curling contest. The Italians won, and was well deserved.

Shaun White, 35, is heading to his fifth Olympics. He has to be doing tricks much more difficult and dangerous than he performed when he won gold medals in 2006, 2010 and 2018. It is a cruel trick of reverse-aging — getting better while getting older. https://nyti.ms/34jYcNK

He's just getting better with age.
At 41, France's Johan Clarey became the oldest #WinterOlympics Alpine Skiing medalist of all time.

The Russian figure skaters who won the team event at the Beijing Olympics on Monday have still not received their gold medals, with two Russian newspapers reporting that 15-year-old Olympic star Kamila Valieva had tested positive for a banned drug https://reut.rs/3HExwW5 1/5
Reuters attempted to reach the Russian Olympic Committee chef de mission for comment but was unable to reach him. The ROC earlier declined to comment on reports of a positive drug test 2/5
Earlier on Wednesday, the IOC said 'legal consultations' had forced the postponement of the medals ceremony, but said it would go ahead eventually. 'A situation arose at short notice that requires legal consultation,' IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said 3/5
Valieva, who landed the first quadruple jumps by a woman in Olympic competition, was one of four ROC athletes who did not appear at their practice sessions 4/5
Russian athletes are competing in Beijing as representatives of the ROC rather than their home nation due to previous doping sanctions. No Russian ice dancers trained at a session slotted for them Wednesday night after the news broke https://reut.rs/3HExwW5 5/5

The whole ROC thing is absurd. It’s just appalling.

The final group of men up skating are doing such a nice job. I loved Jason Brown and I really enjoyed Moris K who skated to a bunch of Sinatra songs, so cute.

Russian skater Kamila Valieva tested positive late last year for the banned substance, which helps the heart muscle function more normally when it is getting lower oxygen delivered to it, NBC Sports reports.
