Athletistic / Figure skating. Three-time Olympic figure skating champion Irina Rodnina spoke about the sanctions that now apply to figure skater Kamila Valieva. She was banned for four years for using a banned drug.

From now on, the skater can no longer officially train. But Rodnina believes that this ban can be circumvented if she does not work with coach Eteri Tutberidze.

Rodnina explained who should have been held responsible in the Valieva case

“I don’t know if Valieva needs a psychologist now, what condition she is in, what her nervous system is, what happened to her these two years. Whether she will return to sports is a question that does not concerns only her and the coach with whom she will work.

Today, Kamila finds herself in a difficult situation: she cannot even participate in internal competitions. She can train, but not under Eteri’s guidance. We have a lot of ice rinks.

She is a talented girl, of all young beauties she is the best – externally, technically, she has good plasticity,” Rodnina is quoted in Match TV.
