Silver medalist of the Pyeongchang Olympic Games – Alexander Enbert in figure skating 2018 Interview with socialbites.ca He stated that Kamila Valieva could build a long-term career by following the path of Elizaveta Tuktamysheva in figure skating.
“Does Kamila have the qualities to skate for as long as Tuktamysheva? I think it’s there. The only question here is motivation and some kind of inner strength, because in professional sports it is really very difficult to survive so many seasons. But if you have a desire, then why do it, then it is probably possible. And Liza Tuktamysheva shows that this is real,” said Enbert.
