Tell HN: NBC quietly removes coverage of Kamila Valieva from YouTube channel

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:

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:
