The team of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva decided to file a protest against the results of the Russian Grand Prix stage in Kazan. RIA Novosti reports this.
According to the source, the athlete’s coaching staff did not agree with the judges’ assessments of the free program. At the same time, journalist Vladislav Zhukov in the Telegram channel “Lapidarnost” stated that after a meeting in the tribune room, the team decided to abandon the protest.
Earlier on November 12, Valieva took fourth place at the Grand Prix in Kazan, scoring 213.59 points. She fell on a quadruple sheepskin coat. Valieva showed her worst result at tournaments since 2019. The winner of the Grand Prix stage was Sofya Muravyova, who had 228.81 points.
On November 10, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) completed hearings on Valieva’s case. Traces of a prohibited drug were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021.
