Honored coach of Russia in figure skating Inna Goncharenko called the decision of the Olympic champion offensive Kamila Valieva miss the Russian show jumping championship.
On Thursday, Valieva’s supporters group announced that the athlete would not participate in the show jumping tournament due to health reasons.
– Of course, it’s a shame that Kamila is not at the championship. I think a lot of viewers were waiting for it. I’ve been waiting for her signature shearling coat myself, as she hasn’t been successful in it in recent competitions. I thought that there, she could, let’s say, rehabilitate herself in the eyes of the fans. Of course, I don’t know what happened to him. It’s very sad, but we are all living people, so we wish him health.
There will be other departures where we can see her. Yes, it’s a shame, but we still have a lot of good athletes and interesting participants. Let’s be optimistic. Therefore, once again, good health to Kamila and we will wait for the competition,” Goncharenko was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
At the Russian Figure Skating Championships in Chelyabinsk, Valieva became a bronze medalist.
The show jumping tournament will take place on January 20-21 in Moscow.
