Maria Lasitskene said that Kamila Valieva is very pleasant and bright
Olympic champion in high jump Maria Lasitskene spoke about meeting Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva. Her words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to the Russian woman, her compatriot is very pleasant and bright. “I understand that she is going through a very difficult period now, of course, she already wants to know the result of the case in CAS and move on with her life. It’s difficult, but as I felt and saw, she is trying to be positive and develop,” said the athlete.
Earlier it became known that Valieva will miss the 2024 Russian jumping championship. This is due to the athlete’s health condition.
The 17-year-old figure skater is the subject of a doping investigation. Traces of a prohibited drug were found in Valieva’s sample from December 2021. The final decision on the athlete’s case will be made by CAS in January 2024.
