Honored figure skating coach of the USSR Tatyana Tarasova said that Kamila Valieva will skate easier next year.
“Valieva was skating very well. But this will make it easier today and tomorrow. Of course, people love him very much… In such a difficult year for him, if he can do this this year when he is shaped, he will do it very well next year.
It was obvious that Petrosyan would win, congratulations. And it’s very good that Sonya Muravyova rose to second place. Fair. This is aggressive behavior for Valieva, but it is fair,” Tarasova said during the broadcast of the competition.
Valieva finished third at the Russian Championships. In the free program, a figure skater fell out of a quad sheepskin coat. Another student of Eteri Tutberidze, Adelia Petrosyan, won. Second place was taken by Sofya Muravyova (student of Evgeni Plushenko).
Valieva was the only participant in the Russian Championships among those who competed in the Beijing Olympic Games. Alexandra Trusova and Anna Shcherbakova missed the tournament.
Previously Valieva called the name your idol.
