Kamila Valieva

Winter Sports

Kamila Valieva is a Russian figure skater born on 26 April 2006 in Kazan, Tatarstan. She trained in Moscow in the group of Eteri Tutberidze and rose quickly, winning the 2020 World Junior title, the 2019 to 2020 Junior Grand Prix Final, the 2021 Skate Canada and Rostelecom Cup events and a silver medal at the 2021 Russian national championships. At the 2022 Winter Olympics a sample she had given in December 2021 tested positive for trimetazidine; in January 2024 the Court of Arbitration for Sport imposed a four-year ban backdated to 25 December 2021 and disqualified her results from that date, including the 2022 European title and the Olympic team event. Even so, she still holds world records for the women's short program, free skating and total score, and she was among the first women to land a quadruple jump.
