Athletistic / Figure skating. Padishakhan Sultanalieva, the mother of Kazakh figure skater Elizabeth Tursynbaeva, in a conversation with Match TV, expressed the opinion that Kamila Valieva would be acquitted when the political situation in the world changes.

“Now I want to support the team of our coaches against the background of the unpleasant story with Kamila Valieva. All this is big politics. It seems to me that as soon as peace comes to the world, the fighting will end , then everything will return to normal, then Kamila will be acquitted, everything will be fine.

Without the sanctions, Eteri Georgievna would have already won so many medals over the last two years! Russian athletes must be given the opportunity to compete on the international stage again. Tutberidze is a great patriot. After all, she could go anywhere, work abroad under conditions favorable to her. But she stayed, opened her own school in Moscow, because she really likes Russia. He sincerely loves her. She doesn’t see herself anywhere else, so she is patiently waiting for all the sanctions to end and her students to finally make her happy at the international level,” Sultanalieva said, as quoted by Match TV.
