Amidst all of the hysteria around the Valieva affair I was interested in watching a clip that NBC Sports had posted on their Youtube channel of Valieva landing the first ever quad jump in Olympic competition, which supposedly is a seminal event in figure skating history. I remember having watched it but for the life of my could not find it again.

I did a search in my history and sure enough, NBC has made the video private:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hda3vvmqQHQ https://web.archive.org/web/20220207105125/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hda3vvmqQHQ&t=198s

I find it incredible that they've removed this video from public consumption. The event happened, the coverage of the event happened, what could possibly justify removing the video, regardless of any proceeding events?

Edit:

Here is another that has been removed:

I am unaware of what the Valieva affair is, so I googled, this is just because she's been accused of doping? But from what I've seen the accusations haven't been upheld or something, what is causing her to be memory holed?

Networks are now as much censors as they are broadcasters. What they choose not to show (or redact) is just as important as what is shown in creating their viewpoint (narrative) of the world.

Interesting. It's still been removed from Youtube.

From a local NBC affiliate: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wGwRCSPucwk

What are some other reasons a public video might be changed to private?

Because people are so dumb today and don't even understand the critical importance of having and displaying different opinions.

Now we want everyone to agree with us, because if they don't, we go into a tantrum.

causing her to be memory holed

A single video changed from public to private does not a memory hole make.
