Athletistic/ Figure Skating. Olympic diving champion, sports journalist Elena Vaytsekhovskaya has shared her thoughts on Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva’s new short program.

“Camila is not just a figure skater, but an athlete, incredibly gifted by nature. No one else has such “singing” hands, such ballet plasticity, such soft muscle strength and at the same time explosive, ease of jumping. All this produces such a powerful effect on the ice, that the production does not have a chance to be noticed. Camila herself is paramount in all programs, “wrote Vaitsekhovskaya in her column on the RT website in Russian.

The journalist also compared the program of Valieva, on the music of the film “Interstellar”, with some programs of the French couple Gabriela Papadakis and Guillaume Sizeron, who perform ice dancing.

Kamila, like other skaters from the Russian national team, presented a new short program on September 24 during the national teams’ trial skates at the Megasport Sports Palace. On September 25, Valieva will introduce a new free program.
