Tarasova spoke about the exclusion of Valieva: " We were in shit"

Honored coach of the USSR Tatiana Tarasova spoke about the revocation of the neutral status of figure skater Kamila Valieva. She is quoted by Sport24.

“I do not react [to non-admission] in any way. The main thing is that the girl is already riding. I want her to go to the international stages. I want Kamila to get into the six of those guys who will remain performing, Tarasova said.

According to her, it is not worth talking about the abuse of Valieva. Tarasova recalled that the entire team was disqualified for several years.

"We've all been in shit here," she added.

ISU initially assigned neutral status to Valieva and Mark Kondratyuk, but later revoked admission to international tournaments. The organization explained this by the inconsistency of athletes with the requirements.
