Valieva’s “They Will Not Catch Us” team lost to the “Red Machine” in the First Channel Cup

The First Channel Cup in figure skating ended in Moscow, where the “Red Machine” team defeated the “They Will Not Catch Us” team. Olympic champion Kamila Valieva captained the losing team. RIA Novosti Sport describes how this experience helped strengthen its image.

To date, several stages have passed in the formation of the image of Valiev. Here is a bright boy dressed in a ballet tutu under “The Swan” by Saint-Saens. It is predicted to be an unheard of success. However, with a warning that the girl urgently needs to go to the dance, because in a few years it will be difficult to collect a trio with such long arms and legs. From the height of Camila’s triple ax alongside her quad sheepskin coat and salchow, we can laugh at the hypothesis.

Then Valieva-junior. Seasons “Girls at the ball”. He still has the same exceptional data, and even as he jumps, the future is shining more and more brightly, but he has never shown himself as a person. A shy kid is a stag-eyed eighth grader who doesn’t like when a crowd of adults with tape recorders catch every word.

Camila will make her senior debut later. The media and federation carry the skater on a gold platter under a crystal cap. This is the main dish of our education system and Tutberidze’s headquarters. It’s even a bit embarrassing, because while Trusova and Shcherbakova are alive, only Kamila gets all the laudatory propaganda of the party’s policy, not to mention Tuktamysheva and others. The message is this: No matter what happened before and what happens next, the point is that we now have the genius of Valieva. Camila continues to act rather modestly, but she clearly enjoys the effect.

It was even more painful for everyone when traces of trimetazide were found “on the plate” at the Beijing Olympics. The crystal lid cracked loudly, the gold tray no longer working. It’s hard to imagine the hell Camila went through with the doping scandal and the Olympics. Many would be offended but she survived and even continued her career she. Alexander Karelin recently said in an interview with RIA Novosti Sport that defeats give much more experience. In the case of Valieva, this statement is 100% true.

In the First Channel Cup, Camila was suddenly appointed captain. Given that she is an active figure skater, the decision seemed ambiguous, but it could be explained in two ways. An attempt to equalize chances – they say, the team with Valieva in the composition is destined to win, which is unfair to others. The version is not very convenient, because for equalization it will be enough to distribute Valieva and Akatieva to different teams. At the Russian Championship there was a struggle for first place between them and in favor of Sophia. And when did they ever consider justice at this level?

Camila, on the other hand, fell ill after the New Year’s holiday and did not train until the tournament started. It’s a bad idea to withdraw completely from the competition for one of the main faces of the poster. Therefore, she had to try herself in a new role.

Leading the Red Machine team, Alina Zagitova is an experienced captain. He is already familiar with organizational issues. She knows what to take, what camera to look at and when to scream to decorate the kissing and edge area, she. It was already necessary to raise the trophy of the winners. In general, it’s certainly nice to be at the helm of a leading team systematically throughout the tournament. Alina did a great job.

However, the captain is tested not only in wins, but also in losses. How he behaves in difficult situations. Therefore, in the First Channel Cup, Camila had enough tests.

Dmitry Aliev failed in the short program, and Yevgeny Semenenko failed in the free program. Anastasia Zinina was too injured to get out of the ice on her own. The Blues were initially closer to second place due to the nature of the draft. If the plus or minus forces in singles and doubles are equal, then the technically strongest figure skaters went “red” with full force. Sofia Akatieva and Adelia Petrosyan with trios and quartets, and even the young Alina Gorbacheva with quartet salchow. The pair, as it were, was achieved with the participation of Zinina, but what is a “kvadistka” against three? Yes, he was injured.

Camila had to protect her face from the very beginning. Do not despair, empathize. Don’t be sad, but be emotional. Don’t forget the kissing and edge-to-edge behavior tricks that photographers should adorn their broadcast and footage with. While the Red team chose a rather aggressive form of presentation, which was also sporty, the Blue team was responsible for sincerity.

Here, co-host Maxim Trankov helped Camila in many ways. The way he interacts with the athletes gives a world class coach in the future. Camila herself was graceful, delicate, and appropriate, making up for her lack of volume and combativeness.

“They won’t be able to catch up with us” led by Valieva actually lost to “Red Machine” Zagitova. However, it can be estimated that Camila’s image from this tournament is much higher than the two millionth difference between first and second place prize money. With that, we congratulate him.
