MOSCOW, 25 Mar. Choreographer Ilya Averbukh, in an interview with the Nachalo YouTube channel, commented on the story of a positive doping test result for Olympic figure skating champion Kamila Valieva. At the Olympic Games in February, Valieva won the team tournament as part of the national team. At the end of the competition, the positive result of the December doping test of Valieva was made public. Despite this, the 15-year-old Russian woman was admitted to individual competitions.
"I won’t comment for sure, the competent authorities understand who is to blame. The only thing is that I am sure that, of course, Camila, in a conscious version, could not drink some kind of drug that would give such a story. I am absolutely sure of this, in her innocence, as well as in the innocence of Eteri Tutberidze, that is, these two people are absolutely innocent. How this happened — you need to understand. And do not throw words: & # 34; And you yourself are all these asthmatics there & # 34;, but figure it out inside. What happened, how did it happen? And hard to understand. For the same Camila. Of course, this could not but affect Camila, her result. This is a girl of absolute talent, kissed by God, this is a diamond, everything is given to her", said Averbukh.
In the individual tournament of the Olympic Games, Valieva became the fourth. She is the champion of Russia and Europe, and also holds world records in both programs and in total points.
