Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Today, April 26, Russian President Vladimir Putin is holding a meeting with Russian Olympians. He dedicated a few words to Olympic figure skating champion Kamila Valieva.

– Of course, the whole country, figure skating fans around the world were especially worried about Valieva. She absorbed all the most complex elements of figure skating in her talent: her plasticity, her beauty, her power and her tenderness. With her work, she has taken sport to the height of true art. Such perfection cannot be achieved dishonestly, with the help of some additional means, manipulations. And in figure skating, all these additional funds are not necessary. You and I understand and know this well, – Sport24 quotes Putin.

She won gold at the 2022 Beijing Games in the team tournament. However, after that, she was suspected of violating anti-doping rules and came under heavy pressure. As a result, the Court of Arbitration for Sport cleared the Russian to compete. She was unable to fully cope with the nerves and became only the fourth. However, despite what happened, Kamila Valieva continues to go out on the ice, take part in competitions and shows.
