Olympic champion Kamila Valieva can consider second place at the Russian Figure Skating Championship a victory, considers the silver medalist of the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang in the team figure skating tournament Alexandre Enbert .
At the December Russian Championship in Krasnoyarsk, Sofia Akatieva won the women’s championship, Valieva became the second. The top three was closed by Elizaveta Tuktamysheva.
– I never tire of repeating that in women’s individual skating there were three winners on the podium. Sofya took first place: she went there all season and proved that she could perform difficult elements, she could fight with our wonderful experienced athletes. It is his great victory.
For Camila, the second place is also a 100% victory, because it is very difficult to enter the new season after the Olympic season. In addition, Camila gave all her strength and nerves to the Olympics. I think that was the hardest part for her.
Her first place in the free program is a great performance, a great result from 2022. I’m very happy for her. Sport is sport, unfortunately you don’t always win, but there’s nothing wrong with Camila being second now. She has all the gold medals to come, – Gazeta.Ru quotes Enbert.
In 2022, Valieva won Olympic gold in the Beijing team tournament and, after a history with a positive doping test, became fourth in the singles tournament.
