Athletistic / Figure skating. Honorary President of the International Skating Union (ISU) Alexander Lakernik shared his opinion on the doping case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. His case is currently being examined by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The organization has completed its hearings. The verdict will be delivered in early 2024.

“I don’t expect any verdict, because it’s not me who decides, but the CAS. I don’t know how they will decide. But I would like to say that Kamila is an exceptional phenomenon in figure skating. At the Beijing Olympics , she was an example of our sport that we will not see again for a long time.

Averbukh: “I don’t care what verdict falls on Valieva”

I wish everyone understood this, no matter what, where and how. The way she skated in the team tournament is an example of what figure skating should be,” Lakernik quotes Sport-Express.
