All of the figure skating events at the 2014 Winter Olympics were held at the Iceberg Skating Palace in Sochi, Russia.[1]

The figure skating events at the 2014 Winter Olympics took place from 6 to 22 February at the Iceberg Skating Palace in Sochi, Russia. Medals were awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, ice dance, and the team event. The team event was a new addition to the Olympic Games this season. It combined the four Olympic figure skating disciplines (men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance) into a single event; skaters earned points based on their placement in each discipline, and the gold medals were awarded to the team that earned the most placement points. Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan won the men's event; Adelina Sotnikova of Russia won the women's event; Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov of Russia won the pairs' event; Meryl Davis and Charlie White of the United States won the ice dance event; and the team from Russia won the team event. Several world record scores in figure skating were set at the Olympics, including by Hanyu in the men's event; Volosozhar and Trankov in the pairs' event; and Davis and White in the ice dance event.

Qualification

A total of 148 quota spots were available to athletes to compete in figure skating at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Each National Olympic Committee (NOC) was allowed to enter a maximum of 18 skaters, with a maximum of nine men or nine women.[2] The results of the 2013 World Figure Skating Championships determined 83 total spots: 24 entries each in men's and women's singles, 16 in pair skating, and 19 in ice dance.[3] The remaining quota spots were allocated based on the results of the 2013 Nebelhorn Trophy.[4]

Controversies

Allegations of votes swapping

The French sports newspaper L'Équipe, quoting an anonymous Russian coach, alleged that Russia and the United States hatched a scheme, whereby the U.S. would help to arrange a Russian victory in the team event, while Russia would guarantee a victory for Meryl Davis and Charlie White in the ice dance event. The allegations were categorically denied by U.S. Figure Skating.[42]

Women's event results

The victory of Adelina Sotnikova of Russia in the women's individual event prompted questions about how her performances deserved higher scores than the performances of Yuna Kim of South Korea. Questions over the judges, the judging system, and the anonymity of scores were also raised in the press.[43][44]

USA Today reported that a "high-ranking Olympic figure skating official … said the geographic makeup of the judging panel 'was clearly slanted towards … Sotnikova.'"[45] The free skating panel included two Russian officials, a Russian judge and a Ukrainian judge.[46] Journalists questioned the appointments of Russian judge Alla Shekhovtsova, the wife of the former president and the current general director of Figure Skating Federation of Russia Valentin Piseev, and Ukrainian judge Yuri Balkov, who was suspended for a year after being caught on tape attempting to fix the ice dancing competition at the 1998 Winter Olympics.[47] The technical panel that oversaw correct execution of elements was headed by fellow Russian Alexander Lakernik.[48] Shekhovtseva was photographed hugging Sotnikova in the arena, raising another question of bias.[49] The detailed score sheet showed that one judge gave Adelina Sotnikova +3 grade of execution (GOE) on all but two elements. In contrast, the score sheet of the short program showed that one judge gave Yuna Kim +0 grade of execution on her triple flip, which the NBC commentator Tracy Wilson had described as "another perfect flip".[48]

Journalists and experts argued that scores given to Adelina Sotnikova were inflated both in the short and long programs. She was inexplicably scored above all others in the free program, where most believed she merited only 4th place in the phase behind Yuna, Mao Asada, and Carolina Kostner. Many among them cite that certain judges gave generous scores along with fellow Russian competitor Yulia Lipnitskaya. In particular, numerous +3 grade of executions were handed out to the two Russian skaters as well as nods in component scores compared to other skaters.[43][48] Others noted that Sotnikova made a mistake by stepping out of one of her jumps which got a -0.9 grade of execution in the scorecards. Ryan Bradley, 2011 US champion, asked "Are we just going to ignore that she botched the landing of her 3 jump and pretend she was perfect?"[50][51]

Several experts have also pointed out how Kim and Kostner's programs had significantly better artistry, choreography and skill on ice that should have translated to higher component marks versus other skaters. One judge awarded significantly lower marks to Kim and Kostner in the component marks. Sonia Garbato, seven-time Olympic figure skating judge and former high-ranking ISU official, wrote: "No fair judge … could have awarded to Adelina higher marks in choreography, performance/execution, and interpretation of the music."[52] Four-time world champion Kurt Browning also expressed his surprise at the results, declaring that he did not understand how Kim and Sotnikova could have been so close in the program component scores. He also pointed out how Sotnikova had her component scores boosted compared to her previous programs.[53] Two-time bronze medalist Michael Weiss attributed Sotnikova's scores to "home-field inflation",[54] while three-time world champion and two-time Olympic silver medalist Elvis Stojko stated that the result "was totally fair," as "Kim didn't have enough technical ammunition."[55] Alexei Mishin, the Russian 1969 world medalist and coach to three Olympic champions, said that "Sotnikova's victory [was] absolutely natural and objective," and claimed that "some are [simply] jealous of Sotnikova's success."[56] Dick Button, two-time Olympic champion and longstanding skating analyst, commented: "Sotnikova was energetic, strong, commendable, but not a complete skater."[48][57]

On 21 February 2014, the International Skating Union (ISU) issued a statement which asserted that all rules and procedures were applied during the competition and that no official protest had been filed by any participating nation concerning the results of the competition. The ISU expressed their confidence "in the high quality and integrity of the ISU judging system",[58] and added that "judges were selected by random drawing from a pool of 13 potential judges" and all nine judges on the free skating panel were from different nations.[58]

On 10 April, the Korean Olympic Committee (KOC) and the Korea Skating Union (KSU) filed an official complaint with the ISU Disciplinary Commission (DC) concerning judging. The complaint was regarding "the wrongful constitution of the panel of judges and the unjust outcome of the competition". It requested that the DC conduct a thorough investigation, "take appropriate disciplinary actions against the concerned individuals", and institute corrective actions. On 14 April, the DC ruled the complaint inadmissible because a general request for investigation was not within the DC's jurisdiction and the complaint was not addressed to an individual or federation as required.[59][60][61]

On 30 April, the KOC and KSU filed a second official complaint with the DC. This time the complaint was against Alla Shekhovtsova and the Figure Skating Federation of Russia (FSFR), specifically citing a hug that Shekhovtsova had shared with Sotnikova, and Shekhovtsova's marriage to the current Director General of the FSFR. On 30 May, the DC dismissed the complaint. It ruled that Shekhovtsova was "not responsible for the judging panel's composition", her marriage did not create a conflict of interest, and since Sotnikova initiated the hug, Shekhovtsova did not break any rules by responding.[59][60][61]

Doping scandal

In December 2014, German public broadcaster ARD aired a documentary which made wide-ranging allegations that Russia organized a state-run doping program which supplied their athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.[62] In May 2016, The New York Times published allegations by the former director of Russia's anti-doping laboratory, Dr. Grigory Rodchenkov, that a conspiracy of corrupt anti-doping officials, FSB intelligence agents, and compliant Russian athletes used banned substances to gain an unfair advantage during the Games.[63] Rodchenkov stated that the FSB tampered with over 100 urine samples as part of a cover-up, and that at least fifteen of the Russian medals won at Sochi were the result of doping.[63][64][65][66]

In 2016, an independent report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency confirmed allegations that the Russian Olympic team had been involved in a state-sponsored doping program from at least late 2011 through February 2014, when Russia hosted the Winter Olympics in Sochi.[67][68] In December 2016, following the release of the McLaren report on Russian doping at the Sochi Olympics, the International Olympic Committee announced the initiation of an investigation of 28 Russian athletes at the Sochi Olympic Games. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported the names of 17 athletes, of whom 15 were among those under investigation.[69][70] Three women's singles skaters were named: Adelina Sotnikova, the singles gold medalist, as well as pairs skaters Tatiana Volosozhar and Ksenia Stolbova. Volosozhar and Stolbova had won gold and silver medals, respectively, in pair skating. Both had also won gold medals in the team event, which also putt the other eight team medalists at risk of losing their golds.

On 5 December 2017, the International Olympic Committee announced that the Russian Olympic Committee had been suspended from the 2018 Winter Olympics. Athletes with no previous drug violations and a consistent history of drug testing were allowed to compete under the Olympic flag as an "Olympic Athlete from Russia" (OAR).[71] Under the terms of the decree, neither the Russian flag nor anthem would be allowed at the Olympics; the Olympic flag and Olympic Anthem were used instead.[72]

Notes

  1. 1 2 Matthew Parr of Great Britain competed in the team event, but not the men's individual event.[6]
  2. ↑ Japan did not originally qualify a pairs team for the 2014 Winter Olympics.[5] However, when Estonia relinquished their quota spot,[8] it was re-allocated to Japan,[9] so Japan did not need to use an "Additional Athlete Quota" to complete their team.
