Poor Anna just stood to the side :( Very grateful that her and Kaori got to share a hug, and that the Japanese team congratulated her too, despite the language barrier. Kaori and Anna are two shining stars, wishing them both the best
I hope I am wrong, but the closeness that Gleichengauz shows to Anna goes beyond coach or friend. Looking back at a lot of footage of how he looks at her, even much younger, is not the way that appears proper.
If Valieva hadn't stumbled and faltered, Kaori might not have gotten that medal. So she is overjoyed that she got that medal, even if it is bronze. She probably did not expect to get it.
