Yesterday, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Kamila Valieva for four years (effective December 25, 2021) for violating anti-doping rules. Let’s remember the most beautiful skater performances!
Fans of Kamila Valieva especially love the program “Swan”, which she performed at the age of 8 (by the way, even before coaching with Eteri Tutberidze). Her white tutu has been compared to Alina Zagitova’s outfit from her winning performance at the Olympics. And this is clearly no coincidence.
One of Eteri Tutberidze’s favorite programs is a program based on Pablo Picasso’s painting “Girl at the Ball”. With this performance in the 2018/2019 season, they began to talk about Valieva as an invincible athlete. “Camila is shining and has incredible grace at such a young age. Their performances are amazing! “It was a blessing to see her skate at that time,” Diana Picasso, the artist’s granddaughter, said of the figure skater.
In 2020, Kamila was still skating among the juniors, but she was already standing out among them. She beat all her rivals in the two stages of the Grand Prix, but just before the final she fell and broke her leg. But after 2 months the athlete returned to the ice and stood on the podium.
We are still watching with bated breath the video of Kamila Valieva’s excellent performance at the 2022 Olympics. “Kirill Richter said that this music is a memory of the dead. “This short program is about my grandmother, who died in 2019,” Camila admitted later, barely holding back tears. After the performance, journalists asked the champion: “Camila, are you invincible?”
But in Bolero, Kamila Valieva achieved the first women’s quadruple jump in the history of the Olympic Games. Many believed that the skater was still too young to perform this program. However, she skated perfectly and took the gold.
