Zhurova: Valieva’s return could become a splash for the world community
Olympic champion in speed skating, State Duma deputy Svetlana Zhurova appreciated the possibility of leaving the skater Kamila Valieva to return to professional sport. Her words are given by RIA Novosti.
According to Zhurova, the return of Valieva could become an incredible splash for the world community. “With Camila, there was a story that did not allow her to“ roll ”. I think we would have watched her incredible skiing for a sufficient number of years, but she was deprived of such an opportunity. It is clear that it is much easier to perform in the show, the sport requires more return and preparation, ”the deputy noted.
Earlier it was reported that Valieva did not return the awards that were deprived of due to removal. The gold of the European Championship should go to the Russian woman Anna Shcherbakova. The title of Russian champion-2022 should receive Alexander Trusov. In addition, Valieva should return the medals of two more championships of Russia, as well as three stages and one final of the country’s Grand Prix.
In January 2024, the sports arbitration court disqualified Valiev for four years. In the sample of the skater from December 2021, traces of the forbidden drug trimetasidine were discovered. Because of this, the Russian national team lost the gold of the Olympic Games team-2022 (the rest of the team, after recalculating the points, should receive bronze medals).
