Three-time Olympic champion Irina Rodnina said that figure skater Kamila Valieva coped with her main task in the team tournament of the Olympic Games in Beijing.

Everything is very clean, the elements are at a very high level and quite decent skating. Despite her age, despite the fact that she is a debutant. She coped with the most important thing, and the most important thing in the short program is nerves and technique. Kamila did all this. And she fulfilled her main task — she brought the Russian national team forward, «said Rodnina.
