Russian Kamila Valieva competes in the women's free skate program during the figure skating competition at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Thursday, Feb. 17, 2022, in Beijing.
Figure Skating will continue to stand alongside and support our athletes throughout this frustrating situation,” the organization said in a statement.
“There are significant economic costs associated with not receiving an Olympic medal,” Zhou said in his statement.
“These Olympic athletes fund a multi-billion dollar industry,” Koehler said, noting that the IOC brings in $2.4 billion annually.
