Earlier it became known that Valieva missed the competition for health reasons. The tournament took place in Moscow on January 20 and 21. Twelve-year-old Margarita Bazylyuk won gold among women.
“Valiyeva was afraid of losing to Bazylyuk. That’s why she withdrew. Kamila needs motivation. It’s difficult to find it,” Jouline was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.
Now Russian figure skaters are suspended from international tournaments.
