“I don’t see Valieva as a coach yet, she is very small” – Tatyana Tarasova

Honored Coach of the USSR in Figure Skating Tatiana Tarasova believes it is too early to reflect on the Olympic champion’s prospects Kamila Valieva in the field of training.

Earlier, the 16-year-old said that after finishing her career, she would like to try herself as a coach.

– Camila can think of coaching whenever she wants. For now, Valieva will continue to skate beautifully, win competitions and show everyone how beautiful she is. I didn’t wonder if she could become a coach. I don’t see her as a coach yet – she is very small. That’s when he will be older … Then we’ll talk, – Tarasova told the “Championship”.

At the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, Valieva, as part of the Russian team, won gold in the team tournament. Subsequently, we learned of the positive doping test of the figure skater, passed in December 2021 at the Russian championship. The athlete was allowed to participate in the individual tournament, where she took fourth place. The RUSADA Disciplinary Committee acquitted the skater, WADA intends to appeal this decision to the CAS.
