Coach Tatyana Tarasova said that she was terribly worried about Kamila Valieva
Honored figure skating coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova said that she was terribly worried about Olympic champion Kamila Valieva. Her words are quoted by Match TV.
“I hope that this whole story will end, so that the enormous hatred that is now coming to our country will not fall on an innocent girl,” Tarasova said. She also noted that Russia will support Valieva, no matter what.
Earlier it became known that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) would render a verdict in Valieva’s case on January 29. The body is considering appeals from the International Skating Union and the World Anti-Doping Agency, which require the Russian woman to be disqualified.
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.
