Irina Rodnina, a three-time Olympic figure skating champion and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, spoke about the support given to Kamila Valieva by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Previously, Valieva was alongside Putin at the opening ceremony of the Future Games in Kazan.

Subsequently, Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that the head of state supports Valieva.

Recall that the skater had already been disqualified for four years for violating anti-doping rules.

“Yes, Vladimir Vladimirovich supported Kamila Valieva with such a gesture! It seems to me that the whole country expressed its support for her. We do not abandon ours,” Rodnina is quoted in Match TV.
