Kamila Valieva said she was “happy to be on the ice” after the Russian figure skater competed for the first time since falling under the weight of controversy at the Winter Olympics.
Valieva, the 15-year-old Russian figure skater who had been the clear favourite to win gold in the individual event in Beijing, fell several times in the final after it was revealed during the Games that she had tested positive for trimetazidine.
