It was the skater’s first performance this season.
Valieva won the short program at the Grand Prix stage in Kazan
“The crowd is amazing, nice, I’m very grateful for the support. I’m very happy to finally start my competitive season.
Preparations for the stage took place as usual, in general all difficulties were left aside, so I calmly tried to recover as much as possible.
They offered me to go to Krasnoyarsk, I just wasn’t physically ready, the competition took place two weeks earlier. To show at least some kind of holistic result, I needed to prepare a little more, so I just said Kazan and Moscow.
Of course, I miss competitions. The first stage of the Kazan Grand Prix is very very pleasant. There was so much support and shouting from the stands, and the applause was sorely missed. Thank you very much to the audience!”, Valieva said in “Championship”.
