The International Olympic Committee have played down suggestions of partisan judging in the women's figure skating final in which Russia won a surprising gold.
Adelina Sotnikova upset the more fancied duo of reigning champion Kim Yuna of South Korea and Italy's Carolina Kostner in Sochi on Thursday evening.
Although Sotnikova executed a difficult routine very well, which would open the door for high marks, the credibility of the judges' scores were called into question after the event.
However, IOC spokesman Mark Adams told reporters: "I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself.
"I think first off we have to see if there's an official complaint, because the people concerned I'd assume would make a complaint and it would go to the federation. I'm not aware there's been such a complaint and if there was they'd got through the federation.
"I don't think it's even happened yet. If it does that will be the first step to go through if there isn't a credible complaint we wouldn't take it any further."
Alla Shekhovtseva, the wife of the Russian federation general director Valentin Pissev and Ukrainian Yuri Balkov, who was banned for a year for corrupt activity, were among the Winter Olympic judges.
