Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva continues to prepare for performances at the Beijing Olympics and, with the support of the coaching staff, is trying to cope with the stress that fell upon her due to a positive doping test taken in December and the subsequent proceedings of the Court of Arbitration for Sport. About it informs sports.ru
Coach Eteri Tutberidze helps the skater cope with emotions and is always ready to lend a shoulder, because Valieva is preparing for a short program, which she may ultimately be banned from participating in. At one of the training sessions in Beijing, journalists captured a crying athlete during a conversation with a coach.
The court session is scheduled for Sunday evening, February 13, with 15-year-old Kamila Valieva testifying via video link. The decision will be announced on Monday, February 14.
During the draw for the participants in the short program, which took place on February 13, Valieva received the 26th number. But the athlete will be able to go on the ice, along with 30 skaters from other countries, only if the result of the doping test of the athlete turns out to be positive for her.
