National junior champion in 2008 and now coach Katharina Gerboldt called Kamila Valieva the main favorite for the next Russian figure skating championship. She also noted that Adelia Petrosyan and Sofya Muravyova could compete with the athlete.
The Russian Championship will take place in Chelyabinsk from December 21 to 24.
— I think Valieva is one of the main favorites of the tournament. In fact, many girls will try to compete with her, but the main ones are Petrosyan and Muravyova. I hope Akatieva will try to recover. Girls without ultra-si elements still have a chance, I think those who skate most cleanly will be on the podium, ”Gerboldt told Gazeta.Ru.
Petrosyan and Valieva study in groups with Eteri Tutberidze, Sergei Dudakov and Daniil Gleikhengauz. Muravyova is coached by two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko.
