Kamila was completely isolated from the sport, but she is not discouraged. In her free time she cooks for herself, she travels, communicates with Putin and, of course, sings.
Kamila Valieva’s disqualification is a great loss for both her and figure skating fans. Now you can’t even see this talented athlete on the show. But she does not despair and continues looking for herself off the ice.
Over the course of a month, Kamila tried many different activities. From visiting various entertainment projects to preparing your own music track.
Valieva also attended the Future Games, where she received support from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After the ban, Valieva changed sports shows for entertainment shows.
The first month of the year was difficult for Kamila Valieva: in January her case concluded and the CAS issued a guilty verdict. For violating anti-doping rules, the figure skater was punished to the fullest extent: she was suspended from the sport for four years and deprived of all medals won since the 2021 Russian Championships.
Kamila found herself completely isolated from what she loved: she was not allowed to perform not only in national and international competitions, but even in shows that received support from the government. Valieva left the tour with Tutberidze, suspended cooperation with Tatyana Navka, and also suspended her participation in master classes. Any other person in a similar situation would have fallen into despair, but the athlete found a way out.
On the harsh decision of the arbitration court:
Valieva began to actively look for a new type of activity that interested her and was legal. As a result, Camila became a media star, after having tried a lot in a short time.
As a guest, the figure skater attended the show “Pastelera. Children “. She also became a referee in the round of 16 of the KVN Major League. In addition to everything, Valieva tried herself as a blogger in the travel program” Route for Two “. Kamila traveled around Tula, exploring the attractions her.
Valieva’s “confession” in Japan and public support from Putin
The most striking event for the athlete was his attendance at the opening ceremony of the phygital tournament of the Future Games in Kazan. Valieva found herself on the same podium as Russian President Vladimir Putin. Many considered this gesture as a sign of support: Tatyana Tarasova, Irina Rodnina, Dmitry Guberniev, Renat Laishev and others were happy for Kamila, who is obviously going through difficult times now.

The figure skater herself was glad to once again plunge into the atmosphere of great sport and gave a fiery speech about the upcoming tournament.
“Sport has been and continues to be a big part of my life and I am happy to see that so much attention is paid to its development in our country. I attended the inauguration of the Future Games, a new international phygital-style tournament, a mix of family sports and virtual reality. This is a completely new format that no one has ever done in the world. About 2,000 athletes from more than 100 countries will participate in the competition. This confirms once again that our country is not isolated from the rest of the world, but is developing and feels very good on the world stage! — Valieva wrote.
“We are the first country to organize an international tournament of this type and this is a great credit to our president; I am incredibly grateful to him,” she added later.
Camila’s adventures did not end there. On March 3, a report from the Japanese television channel NHK will be broadcast with the participation of the figure skater. The ad, titled “Valieva’s Confession,” talks about her doping case and the exclusion of Russians from international competitions. Probably, the athlete decided to speak honestly about the current situation.
What did Eteri Tutberidze say about the disqualification?
Tutberidze is not satisfied with Valieva’s defense in court. But in his post he contradicts himself
Her fans will find out in April whether Valieva will be as frank in her own song. Then Camila’s joint song with singer Mia Boyka is scheduled to be released. As practice shows, athletes who start singing give special meaning to the words they pronounce (just remember “Two Wings” by Alexandra Trusova). That is why it will be very interesting what Valieva decided to tell, whose tragic fate only causes great regret.
