Figure skater Kamila Valieva said she was happy to participate in Tatyana Navka’s show
Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva commented on her return to the ice after the decision to disqualify her. Her words are quoted by TASS.
The athlete said that she was incredibly happy to participate in Tatyana Navka’s show. She expressed hope that things will only get better for her from now on. “I want to say a big thank you to the team, because they are the kindest, best people with whom I could return to the ice,” Valieva emphasized.
Valieva took to the ice for the first time after her disqualification on July 22. The 18-year-old athlete played the leading role in the show “Ruslan and Lyudmila.” The event took place in Sochi.
On January 29, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) disqualified Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. Traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021. Due to the disqualification, the skater was stripped of the gold medal in the 2020 Games in the team competition, as well as the titles of the champion of Russia and Europe.
