Athletistic / Figure skating. Olympic figure skating champion Tatiana Navka shared her impressions of Kamila Valieva’s performance at the Russian Grand Prix stage in Kazan. Valieva was in the lead after the short program, but she ultimately only took fourth place.

She competed the day after her doping case was heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

“Of course, not everything that happens passes without a trace. Pressure and, perhaps, poor health could have had an effect. I’m not part of the team, so it’s difficult for me to judge.

Tarasova spoke about Valieva’s unsuccessful performance in the free program in Kazan

I think there is absolutely no reason to be upset. Nothing bad happened. Kamila still has tournaments ahead of her and has the opportunity to catch up. Everyone has their own season.

Maybe Camila hasn’t reached her peak yet. But I don’t doubt her. Of course, I congratulate Sofya Muravyova: for her, this is an achievement and a victory,” Navka quotes in “Championship”.
