BEIJING, CHINA - FEBRUARY 17: Kamila Valieva of Russia reacts to her score with coach Eteri Tutberidze (L) and Daniil Gleikhengauz (R) at 'Kiss and Cry' during the Women Single Skating Free Skating on day thirteen of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic G BEIJING - The gold medalist said she felt empty.

The silver medalist pledged never to skate again. The favorite left in tears without saying a word.After one of the most dramatic nights in their sport's history, Russia's trio of teenage figure skating stars each enter an uncertain future.Her Olympics and life turned upside down by a doping case, world record holder Kamila Valieva faces a possible ban and a coach whose first response to her disastrous skate Thursday was criticism."Why did you let it go?

Why did you stop fighting?" cameras caught Eteri Tutberidze — the notoriously strict coach who will be investigated over Valieva's failed drug test — telling the 15-year-old after she fell twice and dropped out of medal contention.International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said he was disturbed by the intense pressure on the young skaters, particularly Valieva, and criticized her coaches without naming Tutberidze."When I afterwards saw how she was received by her closest entourage, with such, what appeared to be a tremendous coldness, it was chilling to see this," he said at a news conference Friday. "Rather than giving her comfort, rather than to try to help her, you could feel this chilling atmosphere, this distance."Some in skating have pushed to raise the minimum age for participation at the Olympics from 15 to 17 or 18.As Valieva placed fourth and left in tears, she received a message of support from 2018 silver medalist Evgenia Medvedeva."I am so happy that.

Scientists unearth origins of ‘marine monster’ skull from Peru

The fossil remains of a Basilosaurus' skull found in Ocucaje, Peru, are displayed by paleontologists at a museum in Lima, on March 17, 2022. Paleontologists recently discovered the origins of fossils from a fearsome aquatic predator that would make the terrifying shark from "Jaws" look adorable. The skull was dug up last year but scientists announced on Thursday the 36-million-year-old creature once lived in a prehistoric ocean that once covered what is now Peru, Reuters reported. The recovered skull may look like it came from a fire-breathing dragon, but scientists believe the mammal to be a basilosaurus, part of the aquatic cetacean family. Modern descendants of this animal include whales and dolphins. Scientists confirmed the ancient whale measured in at roughly 39 feet offering relief to readers of the creature’s extinction. "It was a marine monster," said Rodolfo Salas, chief of paleontology at Peru's National University of San Marcos, told reporters at a news conference.
