Athletistic/Figure skating. The three-time Olympic figure skating champion and State Duma deputy expressed her opinion regarding the statement of coach Eteri Tutberidze on the need to correct the weight of figure skater Kamila Valieva.

“I am not aware of Eteri Tutberidze’s comment regarding Kamila Valieva’s weight, and I am not interested in it. I believe this is a purely internal matter between Tutberidze and Valieva. I follow figure skating only on television.

I don’t visually notice that Camila is overweight, but we’ve already seen how she handles shows this season. She didn’t perform a single performance without falling, and it wasn’t just technical errors. This indicates irregularities. What could be the reason? I don’t know. To understand this, you need to be at Valieva’s training, this is the only way to understand the causes of these falls,” Rodnina said.
