Talking about Valieva’s excess weight is unethical, as the skater is getting in shape – coach Mishina

Honored Coach of Russia Tatiana Michina told that it is unethical to discuss the excess weight of a figure skater serving a disqualification Kamila Valieva since the athlete was just starting to get in shape.

On Monday, Valieva, who is serving a suspension for an anti-doping rule violation, took to the ice for the first time since the suspension, taking part in the production of “Ruslan and Lyudmila” in Sochi. Some fans in the comments noted that the skater had gained a little more weight.

— I watched the show. Of course, it is difficult to come back after such a break, but it is clear that Camila copes with everything emotionally. She had successful performances with Alexander Enbert and fits perfectly into the character. As for the jump, it is better not to fall at the show: it is easier to jump a single axel and a toe loop. Although later she already did a double axel. It is clear that after such a break, Camila is happy that she has rehearsed this element several times. Next we are waiting for the triple sheepskin coat, I think she will do it.

All the non-sports activities she did were not her thing, but it was good that she was busy, it helped her to drive away negative thoughts. Valieva’s team supported her morally. And ice is Camila’s element, I think she will gain strength every time.

— I had the chance to read negative comments from fans about being overweight. Is it correct to say this about a young girl?

– Talking about your weight gain is unethical and should be silent about it. There are always a lot of malicious reviews. Athletes try not to read such things to avoid negativity, because such anger from people is unpleasant. I hope Camila reads only positive news.

As soon as Camila returns to her work schedule, she will gradually get back in shape. She is growing, so no one has canceled this matter. She is slowly getting back in shape, nothing will happen suddenly. And the audience is definitely happy to see Camila. And this is a good invitation to Tatyana Navka’s show – people will be happy to watch Valieva. It’s good that she was allowed to perform on the show, they sorted this out with everyone, “Mishina told .

In late January, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Valieva for four years for an anti-doping rule violation. The 18-year-old Russian’s suspension period begins on December 25, 2021, and her results have been void since that date.
