IOC president Thomas Bach was scheduled to spend his Tuesday bouncing around to various Olympic events. Snowboarding in the morning, then some speed skating and finally shooting up to the mountains to watch a little bobsled.

He certainly would go nowhere near the figure skating venue, where controversy over a positive drug test involving Russian star Kamila Valieva had overwhelmed not just that event, but the entire Olympics itself.
