Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva returned to training in the group of honored coach of Russia Eteri Tutberidze. This is reported by TASS with reference to a source familiar with the situation.

“Valieva returned to the group Tutberidze”, — said the Agency interlocutor.

In April 2025, the athlete left Tutberidze and began to practice in the group of Svetlana Sokolovskaya.

In October, Valieva withdrew from the stage of the Russian Grand Prix in Kazan, which took place from 17 to 18 October. The reason she called poor health due to illness.

Earlier, the International Skating Union (ISU) deprived the skater of neutral status, because of this, Valiev will not be able to perform at international competitions.

On the other hand, host countries are finding ways to keep our athletes out of competitions using a banal bureaucracy. A good example is the Russian gymnastics team, which right now risks losing its chance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
