In the Figure Skating Federation Russia (FFKKR) commented on the fourth place Kamila Valieva at the fourth stage of the national Grand Prix series. The statement is given on the official website organizations.
“Camila is not in optimal shape at the moment, not all ultra-cs have been restored yet, the free skate was not ideal. But the program is being improved,” the federation said.
On November 12, Valieva took fourth place at the Grand Prix in Kazan, scoring 213.59 points. She fell on a quadruple sheepskin coat and made a mistake on the choreographic track, which the judges also considered a fall. In addition, the skater was not counted for one of the two sequences with a double axel, since, according to the rules, it is forbidden to do more than one element of this type in the program.
Thus, Valieva showed the worst result at tournaments since 2019. The winner of the Grand Prix stage was Sofia Muravyovawhich has 228.81 points.
November 10 at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ended hearings in Valieva’s case. Traces of a prohibited drug were found in the skater’s sample from December 2021.
