Kamila Valieva spoke about how she managed growing up and changes in her body. She discussed this with Alina Zagitova on Channel One’s vlog. Here’s a translation of the comments.

“A lot has changed in my perception of figure skating. First of all, I finally grew up. I became a little bit smarter. And my body changed a lot.

I remember looking at you and thinking: how is it that Alina just suddenly grew up? How does she jump? What’s going on? Then, when you reach that stage of puberty, you understand: this is it.

I guess I was lucky that this period happened during my suspension. I was able to gain as much weight as I needed, and then calmly lose it again,” Valieva said.
