On Wednesday, U.S. ice dancers and married couple Madison Chock and Evan Bates received gold medals as part of the reallocation ceremony for the Olympic figure skating team.

Chock and Bates competed in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The U.S. figure skating team initially finished in second place until it was found that Russian skater Kamila Valieva tested positive for Trimetazidine, a substance banned by the games.

“Honestly, it feels unreal at the moment,” Chock told NBC. “It’s surreal. We’re just looking out at the Eiffel Tower, and every time I look at it, I just have to pinch myself because we’re here, and I can’t believe that it’s really happening. After two-and-a-half years of waiting, we’re getting our Olympic gold medal, and not just anywhere, we’re getting it under the Eiffel Tower at a Summer Olympics.”

Teenage Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was banned from the sport for four years over a positive doping test taken just before the 2022 Winter Olympics, the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled on Monday. The ban backdates to before the most recent Winter Games in Beijing, stripping Russia of its figure skating team gold and potentially paving the way for the U.S. team to finally be awarded first place two years after the controversy first surfaced.

The suspension is dated from Dec. 25, 2021, meaning Valieva, now age 17, will next be...

The inevitable dance scene for season 2 already has the perfect choice of a Wednesday dance song. Wednesday premiered on November 16, 2022, providing a new perspective on the stories of the infamous Addams family. Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Scream's Jenna Ortega, enrolled in Nevermore Academy, a private school for misfits and monsters which is also her parents' alma mater. Wednesday quickly became a smash hit for Netflix, becoming the second-most watched English-language series on the service in its first three weeks, leading to its renewal for a second season in January 2023.

Wednesday season 1 episode 4, "Woe What a Night," featured the students of Nevermore taking part in a prom-like event known as the Rave'n Dance, which Wednesday attended with local barista Tyler (Hunter Doohan). During the episode Jenna Ortega performed an impressive dance as Wednesday Addams to the tune of "Goo Goo Muck" by the Cramps, marking the first moment she truly comes...

Jenna Ortega's career received a huge boost from Wednesday, but there's one part she regretted despite the attention it received - the viral Jenna Ortega Wednesday dance moves. Ortega leads the cast of the Netflix series as the Addams Family's daughter, exploring her teenage years as she headed off to the private school Nevermore Academy, home to various supernatural beings that was also her parents' alma mater. Upon arrival, Wednesday began to realize she inherited her mother's psychic abilities and put them to use to save the town and her classmates from a murderous creature.

Ortega and Wednesday scored largely favorable reviews, with many taking note in particular of her unhinged dance scene during the Rave'n Dance, though the actor at the center of it doesn't have a glowing review for the moment. However, while Jenna wasn't really happy about the dance scene, that didn't rank as high...

Jenna Ortega addresses the online trend that her Wednesday dance scene inspired, revealing that she had hoped that the sequence wouldn't go viral. Audiences first got a glimpse of the dance scene in the Netflix series' first teaser trailer, before seeing the full sequence in episode 4 "Woe What A Night", where Ortega's Addams Family character attended Nevermore Academy's school dance. After the episode was released, the scene became a viral trend on TikTok, where users created short video edits of the dance and recreated the choreography.

During an interview with The Times, Ortega opened up about her career so far, during which she expressed her true feelings toward Wednesday's viral dance trend that took the internet by storm. The star revealed that while she first tried to have a positive reaction to the news that the dance had been embraced by audiences online, she ultimately felt that it would...

In a Saturday Night Live promo ahead of her hosting debut, Jenna Ortega reluctantly performs her iconic Wednesday dance for the Please Don't Destroy boys. Shortly after Wednesday premiered on Netflix in November 2022, one particular scene in episode 4, "Woe What a Night," quickly went viral on social media. In the scene, Ortega, as Wednesday Addams, performs a very Wednesday-like dance to the song "Goo Goo Muck" by The Cramps. The scene even sparked a viral TikTok trend in which users recreated the dance to the backdrop of Lady Gaga's "Bloody Mary."

A clip from Ortega's upcoming SNL appearance sees the actor perform the iconic Wednesday dance scene, albeit reluctantly. She performed the routine with the comedy trio Please Don't Destroy, who began working with Saturday Night Live in 2021.

While Ortega isn't too keen on being asked to dance for what must be the millionth time, she decides to humor...

Jenna Ortega has revealed that she regrets her dance moves in Wednesday, even though this memorable moment quickly became incredibly popular. Scream's Jenna Ortega portrayed Wednesday Addams, the now teenage daughter of Morticia and Gomez (Catherine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán) who enrolls in her parents' alma mater, Nevermore Academy, after being expelled from her previous school. There, Wednesday uses her emerging psychic abilities to investigate a mysterious monster that has been terrorizing the residents of Jericho, while also trying to integrate into school life.

Wednesday episode 4, "Woe What a Night," sees the students of Nevermore preparing for the Rave'n Dance, a prom-like occasion for misfits and outcasts, to which Wednesday invites local barista Tyler. Along with Wednesday's stellar viewership figures and massive ratings, several memorable scenes from the series quickly went viral, with the most prominent being a moment from episode 4 featuring Ortega surprisingly stealing the dance-floor and throwing some shapes.

Wednesday has already seeped its way into pop culture thanks to lead actress Jenna Ortega's memorable dance sequence, and a recent figure skating routine has proved critics of Wednesday Addams' moves completely wrong. An original series for Netflix in 2022, Wednesday quickly became one of the platform's most popular shows and shattered viewing records previously held by Stranger Things. Wednesday follows the titular Addams family daughter as she is sent away to a boarding school, Nevermore Academy, full of outcasts, where she uses her new-found psychic powers to investigate a local murder spree.

Although it was released late in the year, Wednesday is easily one of the best Netflix shows of 2022, and much of that is down to Jenna Ortega's performance. Ortega perfectly captures Wednesday's morbid humor and straight-faced wit while quietly letting her character's personality grow throughout the series. Proof of how far the reclusive Wednesday had come during...

A Russian teen figure skater’s move-for-move re-creation of Jenna Ortega’s viral “Wednesday” dance at the 2023 Russian Figure Staking Championships is having a viral moment of its own.

Kamila Valieva‘s routine began with just the 16-year-old’s hand peeking out from the stands as Thing, then she climbed onto the ice clad in a frilled black dress like the one Wednesday Addams wore to a school dance in episode 4 of the Netflix series. She also copied Ortega’s braids, pale makeup and blank facial expression.

The opening moments were skated to Danny Elfman’s theme music for the show, and then switched to The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck,” where Valieva channeled Ortega’s now iconic dance moves.

Jenna Ortega's iconic Wednesday dance scene reaches Russia as figure skater Kamila Valieva incorporated it into her latest performance. Wednesday premiered on Netflix on November 23 and took the streaming platform by storm. It overtook Stranger Things with the most hours viewed in one week and has been topping Netflix's charts since. The show follows the Addams family's teen daughter Wednesday (Ortega) as she tackles high school and sets out to solve a mystery. Ortega's performance has received unanimous praise from critics and audiences alike, with some calling it the best iteration of Wednesday yet. Viewers fell in love with a dance scene Ortega choreographed herself in which Wednesday dances to "Goo Goo Muck" by The Cramps.

At the Russian Figure Skating Championship (via @hazikeh), Valieva paid homage to Ortega's Wednesday dance with her performance. She nailed it as she recreated the dance on ice and added some unique moves...

Topping the list of search trends was the viral puzzle game Wordle, which had social media users sharing their little green squares. The game was soon bought by The New York Times. A very Canadian take on the game, Canuckle, also made the list.

Following behind that was Ukraine, which was invaded earlier in the year by Russian forces and continues to be embroiled in a war.

The World Cup, one of the biggest sporting events in the world, also made It on the list at no. 3.

Also on the list was Johnny Deep, whose defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard over her claims to...

Team Good and Team Cuddly both took hits during Wednesday night’s episode of “The Masked Singer” as the contestants faced another double elimination to see who would be joining Firefly in the finals.

Ringmaster came out on top, meaning that Armadillo and Miss Teddy were sent home. Although they were ultimately cut, both impressed the judges with their performances — especially Miss Teddy who sang her heart out to “Mercy” by Duffy.

It’s no surprise that the judges were blown away by her powerful voice, considering that Miss Teddy was none other than original Dream Girl Jennifer Holliday. Before her official unveiling, judge Nicole Scherzinger was able to correctly identify the iconic singer.

Scherzinger was on a roll during the Round 2 finals, also managing to guess the identity of Armadillo. She quickly realized that all the clues pointed to Dog the Bounty Hunter, and she was right. And in the 11th hour,...

The international union that governs skating said Tuesday that it was following the recommendations of the International Olympic Committee in banning athletes from Russia and Belarus from its competitions across the sports of figure skating and speed skating. It becomes the latest organization in the sports world to take action since Russia began its military invasion of Ukraine.

The Ioc on Monday took the unprecedented step of calling on sporting organizations around the world to ban the two nations from competing, urging global sports federations to “protect the integrity of competitions for the safety of all the participants” by excluding athletes and officials from the two nations.

Belarus is an ally to Russia and allowed Russian troops to pour over its southern border into Ukraine as the invasion began last week.

Russia had already been banned from international sports competitions through the end of this year for doping. Those sanctions...

On Monday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel talked a lot about the tragedy in Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia last week and still waging what may ultimately prove a losing battle against the war of aggression.

During the chat, Kimmel ran down some of the various ways organizations and countries are trying to push back. And then he humorously side-eyed the International Olympic Committee for finally finding a reason to actually punish Russia for wrongdoing.

“The big story, as you all know, is the war on Ukraine,” Kimmel said during his monologue. “Where the Russians are bombing civilians, all the while saying they aren’t.”

“The Ukrainians are not giving up. They’re showing great courage in the shadow of the murderer, Vladimir Putin,” Kimmel continued. “A man whose list of admirers is now down to Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump.”

“Even famously-neutral Switzerland is taking action against Russia.

Russian skater Kamila Valieva, 15, finished in fourth place in the individual event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics falling several times. Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, expressed his concerns regarding Valieva’s entourage before her performance occurred. Valieva was in first place heading into the free skate routine, but then stumbled at […]

The scene that unfolded on Thursday morning in Beijing during the Women’s Figure Skating competition — watching Kamila Valieva, the 15-year-old thrust into the center of Russia’s doping scandal, struggle so publicly — was disheartening on many levels. It also capped off a terrible week for the sport of figure skating, the Olympic Games, the Olympic movement — and, most of all, the women involved.

The women competing have spent their lives sacrificing normalcy — and their health — at a chance to be number one in the world. And this is where we have a problem.

Exclusive: NBC has picked the hosts for its coverage of Sunday’s Closing Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics — and two of them have been in the news this week.

Figure skating announcers Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir will be joined by Terry Gannon to call the expected extravaganza from Chinese capital, we’ve learned. The trio also handled announcing duties for the Closing Ceremony of the Tokyo Summer Olympics last year and for the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

This weekend, Lipinski, Weir and Gannon will be hosting from NBC Sports HQ in Connecticut. Over the course of this year’s Winter Games, the Comcast-owned network has held the majority of its coverage of competition in Beijing from studios in the U.S.

Lipinski and Weir went viral this week with their call of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva’s short program, during which she fell and ended...

The 2022 Winter Olympics, now three Thursdays into competition, are back where they started ratings-wise.

Despite the drama unfolding on ice with Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva’s doping controversy, Thursday brought NBC’s primetime coverage of the Beijing games up only ever so slightly. Per fast affiliates, the latest night of coverage brought in a 1.2 rating in the 18-49 demo and 7.43 million viewers, up from Wednesday’s lows. That said, the third Thursday was also significantly down from the previous week to match the very first night of competition to a tee. Coverage also included women’s speed skating 1000m and women’s halfpipe skiing final.

For the corresponding day of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, NBC recorded a total audience delivery of 17.6 million viewers. This post will be updated with Thursday’s Tad when those become available. The 2022 Winter Olympics, which have sturggled to match previous games’ ratings,...

Meagan Duhamel, a 2018 Olympic gold medalist, describes the controversy over figure skater Kamila Valieva’s failed drug test and subsequent backlash as “heartbreaking.” On Thursday, tears rolled down the cheeks of 15-year-old Valieva after she failed to medal — and fell and stumbled a handful of times — at the Olympic women’s free skate program. The moment came during a looming international conversation over the controversial decision to let her skate amid a doping scandal.

At first, the decision to allow Valieva to compete after testing positive for trimetazidine — a drug used to treat angina,...

Kamila Valieva, the 15-year-old Russian figure skater who was controversially allowed to participate in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics amid a doping scandal, failed to medal in the women’s free skate program despite being the heavy favorite in the event.

The usually rock-solid Valieva — who was atop the leaderboard following the short program Wednesday — fell or stumbled at least four times during her free skate routine, leaving the Russian with a score of 141.93, which ultimately put her in fourth place in the event.

As per the International Olympic Committee’s...

Adam Rippon had no interest in sticking around the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing Tuesday, Feb. 15, when Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva took the ice for the women’s single short program. “I wasn’t there for the skate — I left,” he tells Rolling Stone from Beijing. “I didn’t want to watch.”

At just 15 years old, Valieva had arrived at the 2022 Winter Olympics a heavy favorite, and off the bat, she helped the Russian Olympic Committee take home gold in the team event. But after the medal ceremony was delayed by a “legal issue,...

Figure skater Kamila Valieva controversially took the ice Tuesday for the women’s single short program at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, despite the 15-year-old Russian’s positive test for a banned substance days earlier. Valieva’s presence in the event drew the ire of NBC commentators and former figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, who criticized the International Olympic Committee’s decision to allow Valieva to compete.

During Valieva’s program Tuesday — which vaulted the Russian Olympic Committee skater atop the leaderboard and made her the heavy favorite to win...

NBC skating commentators Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir didn’t shy away from addressing the elephant in the room when Russian skater Kamila Valieva took the ice on Tuesday night. In fact, they made it clear they were outright disappointed to see her perform.

Valieva tested positive for a banned heart medication earlier this week, following a test taken on Dec. 25. Primarily due to her age, Valieva was not banned from competition. If she makes the podium — a definite possibility, since she posted an 82.16 on Tuesday night, putting her in first place — there will be no medal ceremony. But, Lipinski and Weir wanted to reiterate that, in any other case, Valieva wouldn’t have been there at all — and they would’ve preferred that.

You can watch the moment in the video below.

On Tuesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Kimmel took some time in his monologue to express some rather healthy skepticism of the excuse the Russian Olympic team has for yet another doping scandal. And really, he had a point.

He was speaking of course about Russain figure skater Kamila Valieva, who tested positive for three banned substances, heart medicationd that can also boost endurance in people who don’t have heart problems. her excuse for testing positive for the drugs? She claims her grandfather takes them and somehow being around him exposed her to it.

That positive test should have instantly disqualified her, but in what critics contend is blatant corruption, the International Olympic Committee has decided to let her compete anyway. They’ll continue to investigate, medals in her event will be delayed until that investigation ends, and depending on how it works out and she could, possibly,...

Figure skating is taking center stage at the Olympics for both good and bad reasons. While there are plenty of performances worthy of praise and celebration—we see you Nathan Chen and Erin Jackson—a scandal involving Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has left fans with mixed emotions. On Feb. 14, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) announced the 15-year-old will be allowed to compete in the 2022 Beijing Games after it was reported that she tested positive for a banned substance prior to the Games. For track and field star Sha'Carri Richardson—she was unable to compete at the 2020 Olympics after testing positive for marijuana—the decision has left her with more questions than...

Runner Sha’Carri Richardson is speaking out after Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was allowed to compete at the Beijing Winter Olympics despite reportedly testing positive for Trimetazidine, a drug used to treat chest pain. The World Anti-Doping Agency lists trimetazidine as a prohibited metabolic modulator that could potentially function as a stimulant.

“Can we get a solid answer on the difference [between] her situation and mine?” Richardson tweeted. “My mother died and I can’t run and was also favored to place top 3. The only difference I see is I’m a black young lady.

There's been a bump in the ice at the 2022 Winter Olympics. According to NBC Sports, 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva tested positive for a banned substance prior to this year's Beijing Games. The sample was reportedly obtained prior to Valieva's win at the European Figure Skating Championships in Tallinn, Estonia last month.  The drug detected is a heart medication called trimetazidine, NBC News reported. The substance was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency due to properties that can improve endurance. The news comes days after the Russian Olympic Committee (Roc) won the gold medal in the team figure skating event, with...

The Russian Olympic Committee might have earned top marks in team figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics — but the gold medal still remains out of reach for the skaters as a mysterious “legal issue” continues to delay the medal ceremony for the event.

Olympic officials aren’t forthcoming with information for the reasons behind the setback. However, media reports surfaced Wednesday suggesting Kamila Valieva, the Roc’s 15-year-old star skater, tested positive for a banned substance.

According to Reuters, two Russian newspapers, Rbc and Kommersant, reported Valieva tested positive for...
