Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has become the owner of a new Olympic record. This is reported by the correspondent of “Lenta.ru”.
For hire in the short program of the team tournament of the Beijing Games, the athlete received 90.18 points. She managed to break the record of compatriot Alina Zagitova, who four years ago at the Olympics in Pyeongchang received 82.92 points for her performance.
Valieva’s performance helped the Russian team gain an advantage over the Americans after two competitive days of the team tournament at the Beijing Olympics. The Russians have 45 points, they are three points ahead of the US representatives.
Russian athletes compete at the Beijing Games under the auspices of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC). The tricolor and the national anthem were banned due to World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) sanctions.
