Earlier quoted context omitted.

causing her to be memory holed A single video changed from public to private does not a memory hole make.

Here's another: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVpjFdf5l8c

Interesting.

But as another comment notes, it’s on NBC’s front page. Is another explanation possible? Do the now-hidden videos contain unlicensed material, for example?

It’s too bad that YouTube doesn’t let you leave an explanation for making a video private, to stave off conspiracy theories.

It’s front and center on their own page: https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/video/watch-rocs-kamila-va...

This version lacks the Johnny Weir / Tara Lipinski commentary and ends rather abruptly. The YouTube version was several minutes longer and showed Kamila being berated by her coach, screaming backstage that she hated the sport, etc.

Even the little that is shown from the end of the skate in this version appears to have been edited to minimize Kamila's reaction. For example, at the end of the skate, Kamila does a throw gesture in despair. The YouTube version made it obvious with a front and center closeup while this one sticks with a distant overhead camera. And around the time she started to really break down, they abruptly cut to scoring.

I'd really like to know why this was removed too. Was it pressure from Russia? The IOC? Hmmmm.
