The Russian figure skating community, which caused worldwide outrage over the controversy over the biased judgment that robbed Kim Yu-na of the gold medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, caused a stir again, causing a controversy over the rude talk. This time, he targeted Riku Miura and Ryuichi Kihara, who won the Olympic gold medal for the first time in the history of Japanese figure skating, and poured unfounded criticism.

Japanese media 'Tokyo Sports' reported on the 9th that a Russian figure skater raised doubts about the decision against Miura-Kihara Jo, who won the figure pair event at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics by breaking a new world record.

The main character of the controversy is Dmitry Kozhrovsky, the star of the Russian pair. "It was a really strange competition," Kozhrovsky said through Russian media "Sports24," adding, "Everything was so strange that there was no single event left without complaints." It was a series of disappointing and strange moments from the first game," he said.

In fact, Kozrovsky expressed dissatisfaction with the overall scoring system, including the Japanese players' come-from-behind victory, through this interview without a specific basis.

Miura-Kihara Joe overcame the slump of fifth place in the short program in this competition to come from behind with a total of 231.24 points, scoring 158.13 points in the free skate. This is a figure that broke the previous world record (157.46 points) set by Russia's Mishina-Galiamov Joe in 2022. Since the introduction of the current scoring system, it is the largest score difference in Olympic history and the first gold medal in Japanese figure skating history.

It is analyzed that the background of Kozrovsky's sharp response is based on his qualification for not even participating in the Olympics. The International Skating Union (ISU) completely prohibits athletes from participating in international competitions from Russia and Belarusian federations. In this competition, only a small number of people who passed strict screening were qualified as individual neutral players (AIN). In particular, not a single Russian team was approved for participation in the pair event, so Kozhrovsky, a Russian pair sign, had to watch the game.

Such a scandal in the Russian figure skating world is likely to be interpreted as an anger coming from a chaotic situation where its athletes are involved in doping scandals and participating in neutral athletes. In fact, according to Russian media "Sovetsky Sport," 88 Russian figure skaters were investigated for doping in 2025, and six athletes, including Sofia Akateva, have been subject to additional tests recently.

In particular, Adelina Sotnikova, who beat Kim Yu-na to win the controversial gold medal at the Sochi Olympics, drew criticism for making absurd remarks at this competition as well. According to 'Newsweek', Sotnikova was a commentator for the Russian media 'Oko' and said, "You don't have to be sorry when Amber Glenn (USA) made a jump mistake. It's because it works in our favor," he said, which was criticized by fans around the world. Fans were outraged through social networking services (SNS), saying, "Is the person who stole Kim Yeon-ah's gold medal going to say it?" and "The Olympic champion I want to forget the most."
