Kamila Valieva she added that she also had great respect for Tuktamysheva, as she had extensive experience in performing.
What does Lisa mean to me? This means that we must also strive to go to 15 Russian championships. I have great respect for Lisa. I don’t mean “at that age”. But I am 16 years old and she has 15 Russian championships. I respect her a lot.
Liza and I will be performing at Megasport. I am from December 29 to January 7. We are waiting for everyone in Moscow,” Valieva said.
