Kamila Valieva's controversial Winter Olympics ended in tears with a fourth-place finish after the 15-year-old fell multiple times in the free skate.

Russian Olympic Committee's Anna Shcherbakova and Alexandra Trusova claimed gold and silver with Japan's Kaori Sakamoto taking the bronze medal.

Valieva, in the spotlight after the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled she could compete in Beijing after a failed drugs test, sobbed while waiting for the score.
