Athletistic / Figure skating. Russian journalist and blogger Elena Vaitsekhovskaya spoke about Kamila Valieva’s participation in ice shows. Earlier it was reported that the athlete, who is serving disqualification for violation of anti-doping rules, will perform in Tatyana Navka’s ice shows. They will take place in the summer and fall of 2024.

“In the flood of news that Tatyana Navka plans to get the most out of Kamila Valieva in her ice shows, the main thing seems to me that Kamila will skate again. It doesn’t matter that she doesn’t participate in competitions: a large number of shows. This is a great opportunity to get back into shape, and at such a level, for as long as the skater herself wants.

Averbukh said Valieva should think about returning to competition with a ‘battle for first place’

Ice theater shows have long ceased to be a “survival” zone for stars; they force even the most successful athletes to take a more than serious approach to their skating level and continued growth. Valieva has always been a perfectionist in her work. According to the rules of disqualification, the coaches and choreographers of the national team cannot have anything to do with the skater, but here a different look at the athlete’s abilities is even better. This could well be the driving force for further development. This is a gift for the public: Kamila has not even exhausted her potential on ice yet,” Vaitsekhovskaya wrote on her Telegram channel.
