Valieva, the return? Now 18 years old, the young Russian skater has not drawn a definitive line under her career. She is even seriously thinking about returning to the ice after the end of her four-year suspension, decided by the Court of Arbitration for Sport last January. She explained this to the Russian media at the end of last week: " Of course, I plan to come back, because this is not the end for me. My last performance at the Russian Championships was not the best or most successful. But it would be stupid of me to end my sports career at such a young age. I will do my best to make the audience, myself, my coaches and all my fans happy. " Excluded from competitions until January 25, 2025, Kamila Valieva can consider participating in the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Games. And she is working on it. " Right now I'm gradually getting back into shape, she continued. I'm trying to confidently execute all the elements I showed in the last season, namely the triple toe loop and the double Axel. I need more confidence, I'm going to try to make the content of my program more complicated. I don't have any competitions coming up, obviously, but I have to keep up with the other girls."
