Athletistic / Figure skating. Slovenian gymnast Ekaterina Vedeneeva compared herself to the Russian figure skater.

“One year we considered the option used by Kamila Valieva for her short program, but things did not go further than Kamila’s thoughts. Before that, I also used the music from this ballet, it was interesting to compare,” News.ru quotes the athlete.

Junior world champion Kamila Valieva has been disqualified since January 2024 due to a doping case at the Beijing Olympics. Despite the suspension, the athlete actively participates in Tatyana Navka’s show.

Earlier, Vedeneeva compared herself to another Russian figure skater, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva. The gymnast believes that they both push the boundaries of their respective sports during their long careers. Recall that Vedeneeva reached the final of the individual all-around competition at the Paris Olympics at the age of 30, and Tuktamysheva suspended her sports career at the age of 26.
