No Games in Moscow - Ep.1 Behind the Doping of Kamila Valieva

The 2022 Beijing Olympics will likely go down in history as figure skating’s darkest moment. The surreal turn of events - from Kamila Valieva’s positive test to her error-strewn performance on ice to the subsequent traumatic responses displayed by her teammates - proved catastrophic for Russian figure skating, which had dominated the sport for over a decade before its grand implosion on the global stage. In Kin’s new documentary essay series, No Games in Moscow, we investigate the methods and philosophies of Russia’s premier figure skating school, Sambo 70, the experiments and scientific research around its athletes, and its relationship to the Putin regime.
