Figure skater Kamila Valieva spoke about references to the Olympics in her free program.
Today Valieva performed at test skates in Moscow.
“The main thing was to carry your story through the program. I think it succeeded.
They worked on the production with Daniil Markovich (Gleikhengauz) and Eteri Georgievna (Tutberidze), as usual. They asked in advance if I wanted to touch on this topic. It can and should be lived. I agreed.
I am very glad that so many people came to support us today. I’m glad I was able to touch them.
When I first listened to the words and music, I couldn’t hold back my tears. How many skated the program in training, there were no such emotions. When I came out now, it was as if they had dipped me in there again, tears welled up, but I needed to roll. There was a tremor, but I’m glad I was able to show it to people.
Why didn’t I have enough faith at the Olympics? I’ll leave that to myself. This is my interpretation. For me, the main thing now is not fulfilling the elements. After the Olympic season, I’m ready for anything.
The goal was to show the program, not to fall off the jumps. I prepared for the season the best I could. In general, I am satisfied with the rental. Hood – it is clear what the reference is to. The dress itself was created more by Eteri Georgievna. I said what details need to be changed. In general, it will be improved,” Valieva said.
“That was not enough for me at the Olympics.” Valieva’s cipher is a word she refuses to name
