Skier Veronika Stepanova apologized to figure skater Kamila Valieva for harsh words about a doping case at the Olympics.
At the last Olympics in Beijing, Valieva took fourth place in individual competitions and won gold in the team tournament. During the tournament, it became known that her December doping test gave a positive response to the banned substance trimetazidine. Stepanova, on the air of Match TV, criticized the figure skater.
– I apologized to Kamila Valieva. Live on Match TV, I couldn’t find the right words about the events at the Olympics, everything sounded completely unjustifiably harsh.
Was not right! If you want to know, this is about the only thing I said publicly that I regret. And this is a lesson for the future – to formulate thoughts more harmoniously.
Will we become Camila’s friends? It is very interesting, a few hours in the Kremlin made us friends, but the training schedule is unlikely to allow us to meet often. In any case, she is cool and an athlete of the highest level is immediately visible in her! — wrote Stepanova.
Stepanova is the Beijing Olympic champion in the relay. Both athletes took part in the ceremony honoring the champions in the Kremlin on Tuesday.

Biathlete Kristina Reztsova said on Match TV that skier Alexander Bolshunov does not greet her, despite the fact that they competed together at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.
– He doesn’t even say hello! How will he give me the phone number? He doesn’t say hello to anyone at all. I don’t deserve it. So I went to one Olympics with him. After the Games we saw each other everywhere. He doesn’t greet anyone. “He’s just such a person in life,” Reztsova said on the air of the “Biathlon with Dmitry Guberniev” program.
