Yes, I know this is my third post about Kamila Valieva, but…

But I can’t stay silent after what I saw.

If you watched it, you saw Valieva crack under pressure on the center ice, making a series of uncharacteristic mistakes culminating in a painful looking fall.

When she went out there, she looked terrified. Terrified beyond nerves and pressure.
