Coach Tarasova said that Rudkovskaya has nothing to do with Valieva’s weight
Honored Coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova responded to producer Yana Rudkovskaya, who called Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva overweight. Her words are quoted by Sport24.
“What does Rudkovskaya have to do with this? It’s none of her business! What is there to talk about? – she said. Tarasova added that Valieva’s growth and changes in her form are normal as she continues to perform at a high level.
Earlier, Rudkovskaya, in an interview with Sport Express, said that Valieva had noticeably gained weight and needed to lose weight. “Camila has become very sexy. But for sports, aesthetics and forms are needed differently,” she concluded.
On September 15, it became known that on September 26, 27 and 28, Valieva will take part in hearings of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) via video link. It is noted that the skater demands that the gold of the Russian Championship 2022 be returned to her and her results not be annulled.
At the 2022 Olympic Games, Valieva won gold in the team competition, but the Russian team was not awarded due to the doping scandal involving her. Traces of the banned drug Trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021. At the same time, CAS allowed her to participate in the individual tournament, where she took fourth place.
