MOSCOW, Aug 25 Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva spoke about her relationship with the Olympic champion in single skating by Alina Zagitova. «How did the friendship with Alina Zagitova begin? The fact that we are both Taurus, of course, I know. I didn’t think about the common character traits of Alina and me — it should be more visible from the outside. But about friendship is a strange question … Alina and I communicate well, but it seems to me that this cannot be called friendship. I respect Alina very much, she is a real example and an idol in sports for me, «U Magazine quotes Valieva. Valieva is the winner of the team tournament at the Olympic Games — 2022 in Beijing, the current champion of Europe and Russia, the owner of world records for the points scored in the short and free programs, as well as for the sum of two programs. Zagitova is the 2018 Olympic champion in women's singles, as well as the world and European champion.
