“I live for figure skating, I want to skate as long as possible” – Valieva after winning the Grand Prix

Olympic champion Kamila Valieva after winning the sixth stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Moscow, she declared that she would try to continue her figure skating career as long as possible.

Valieva, who was in the lead after the short program, fell in the free skate while performing a quadruple jump and a triple Lutz, but took the final first place, scoring a total of 226.22 points.

“I’m glad there was this first step in my life.” We have taken into account all the errors that followed. Now I want to say thank you to the coaches, they saw everything during training. There were some conflicts, but I am happy that we found mutual understanding. They help me. I know my body is ready. During the warm-up, I put on a quadruple sheepskin coat. Everything comes from the head in our sport. If there is any doubt, everything will go wrong. I’m happy to have managed to take first place. It is an incentive to move forward.

No matter how hard it may be for me. I thought it was tough last year, but it turns out it was preparation. I love this sport, I live for it. I want to ride as long as possible.

How important is the proximity of Eteri Georgievna? We’ve been with her for so long that you start to feel more warmly towards the coach. There are sometimes things that are incomprehensible in the family, but I thank them very much. She is like a second mother to me in figure skating. I would like to congratulate my mother Alsou on Mother’s Day. Without her, I would have nothing. She pulled me out of every hole.

The next start is the Russian Championship, I will prepare. There will be non-skating events. I try to combine sport with other activities. If you only do figure skating, you can burn out, ”reports the correspondent of , according to Valieva’s words.
