Tatiana Tarasova expressed optimism about Kamila Valieva’s ability to return to her pre-ban level of figure skating after her suspension for a doping rule violation ends on December 25. Here’s a translation of her comments.

The suspension of figure skater Kamila Valieva, imposed for an anti-doping rule violation, is set to end on December 25. Tatiana Tarasova shared her confidence in Valieva’s potential comeback:

“She is a young person with plenty of strength. She had a brilliant career planned and calculated for her. We’ve seen other skaters return to the ice, even after giving birth, so there shouldn’t be any issues. I believe Kamila will already be competing next year.”

When asked if Valieva could regain her former level of performance, Tarasova replied:

“Why would we need anything less than her previous level? That’s the only standard we hope for.”

Tarasova praised Valieva’s decision to return to competition, stressing the importance of her health:

“It’s wonderful that she has decided to compete again. The most important thing is that she remains healthy and avoids injuries. It will be extraordinary if she succeeds. Sure, there haven’t been any similar precedents in the past, but she will be the first for us.”
