Athletistic / Figure skating. The Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR) has issued a press release on the women’s competitions at the Kazan Grand Prix. Sofya Muravyova won there and Olympic champion Kamila Valieva became 4th.

“Olympic champion of team competitions Kamila Valieva finished her first tournament of the season in fourth place. Starting for the first time almost two months after showing new programs during the September skating tests is not easy for anyone. It is clear that Kamila is not in optimal shape at the moment, not all ultra-cs have been restored yet, the free skate performance was not ideal. But the program is improving Even the fact that Kamila went on the ice in a new suit testifies to the attention to detail that has always distinguished the seat of Eteri Tutberidze.

Vaitsekhovskaya responded to Valieva’s assessments at the Russian Grand Prix in Kazan

Another thing is obvious: Valieva’s uniqueness and talent have not disappeared. Kamila’s new programs are another success for the entire coaching team, because they reveal new facets of the skater – the depth of her skating, her captivating expressiveness. And the fact that an athlete of the highest level, with such abilities, continues and remains in sport deserves great respect for her determination, resilience and strength of character,” the statement said.
