Hollywood actor Alec Baldwin appreciated the technique of Kamila Valieva, the 2022 Olympic champion, European champion, student of Eteri Tutberidze, at the team championship.
Baldwin wrote “Oh my God” under the video Valieva posted on her social network.
At the 2024 Russian Championships, Valieva took third place. In the free program, a figure skater fell out of a quad sheepskin coat. Another student of Tutberidze, Adelia Petrosyan, won the tournament. Second place was taken by Sofia Muravyova (student of Evgeni Plushenko). After the short program, Valieva took the lead, almost three points ahead of Petrosyan. The figure skater also presented a demonstration number at the 2024 Russian Championships for the soundtrack of the series “The Boy’s Word”, the song “Pyala” of the group “Aigel”.
He was involved in a doping scandal at the 2022 Olympics after it was learned that his sample tested positive for a banned drug during the competitions in China. He was allowed to compete in an individual tournament, resulting in a fourth-place finish. His case is being considered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and the decision is expected in early 2024.
Former Games medalist named Valieva’s productions are amazing.
