MOSCOW, Feb 17, Alexander Sergeev.Bronze medalist of the 2015 World Championship Elena Radionova said that she was very worried about the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva during her performance in the free program at the Beijing Olympics. Russian figure skater Anna Shcherbakova became the Beijing Olympic champion in women's single skating. The athlete scored 255.95 points in the sum of programs. The second place was taken by Alexandra Trusova (251.73). The third was the Japanese Kaori Sakamoto (233.13). Kamila Valieva, who was in the lead after the short program, took fourth place (224.09). «I would like to congratulate Anya Shcherbakova and Sasha Trusova on their two Olympic medals. Anya had a fantastic performance. She was so confident and calm, it seemed that they were for her not the first Olympic Games. In the short program there was a feeling that she was not worried at all, then she herself said about it. Anya was at the highest level: two clear quadruple jumps, everything else is also clean and confident — this is champion skating. I would like to congratulate Sasha on silver and support, because this is the person who moves figure skating forward. One cannot but admire this. Five quadruple jumps — she wanted to do it and did it. It’s a pity that it wasn’t enough, there is only one Olympic gold, «Radionova said.» I would also like to support Kamila Valieva, it was not her performance today.It’s a pity for the girl who was exhausted by all her nerves.She was in good physical shape before the Olympics.Kamila demonstrated it's in a team tournament. Then this situation (with a doping test) severely crippled her. I feel very sorry for her. Today I watched the rental, tears welled up in me from how it was possible to bring the girl like that. This is not what she showed us. Throughout the season she skated cleanly. I would like to note that even despite the fact that not everything went smoothly at the box office, she still fought to the end. Camila is the champion of our hearts, she still has her whole career ahead of her. We see from Lisa Tuktamysheva that it is possible to go through more than one Olympic cycle. There is also the example of Alena Savchenko, who after so many years became an Olympic champion. Camila is a unique athlete, she is the diamond of figure skating. One in a million is born like this. I would like this situation to be resolved as soon as possible so that Camila can continue to prepare for the competition,» the figure skater added.
