Korean Olympic Committee
At the 2014 Winter Olympics, her appointment as a judge caused a controversy. She judged the ladies' single skating competition and was photographed hugging Russian skater Adelina Sotnikova in the arena after competition. Sotnikova won the gold medal. The Korean Olympic Committee (KOC) filed an official complaint against Shekhovtsova, citing the hug and her marriage to Valentin Piseev as reasons for a conflict of interest. The complaint was, however, dismissed by ISU.
