Kamila Valieva returns to Eteri Tutberidze training group!
We woke up to some exciting skating news this morning! It has been confirmed that Kamila Valieva has returned to Team Tutberidze (according to RIA Novosti, and others).
There aren’t many details currently available at the moment, but it appears to be confirmed that she has departed Svetlana Sokolovskaya’s coaching group and has rejoined Eteri’s Хрустальный in Moscow.
Could it be possible that she may appeal the decision on her neutral status for international competitions? The coming days and weeks should provide more information.
Stay tuned! We’ll be posting more details soon
