Soviet figure skater Natalya Bestemyanova reported admiration for Adelia Petrosyan’s victory at the Russian Championships in Chelyabinsk RIA News.
“If Valieva had made a quadruple fur coat today, she would probably have come second. Adelia did three quadruple jumps and missed one of them. This is an extraordinary result,” said Bestemyanova.
Valieva finished third at the Russian Championships. In the free program, a figure skater fell out of a quad sheepskin coat. Sofia Muravyova came second
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.
At the end of February 2022, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) appealed to international sports federations, recommending that Russian and Belarusian athletes not be allowed to participate in any competitions. For this reason, the International Skating Union (ISU) suspended athletes from both countries from competitions. The last major tournament for the Russians was the Olympic Games in Beijing in February 2022.
