What happened to Kamila Valieva?
Valieva returned to Russian skating after a four-year doping ban ended in December 2025, competing in Moscow domestic events and changing coaching teams amid ongoing Olympic eligibility questions.
- Recently, Valieva skated at a national jumping championship in Moscow after her four-year anti-doping ban expired in December 2025, landing a quadruple toe loop and reaching the semifinals.
- At the Beijing 2022 Olympics, Valieva, then 15, failed a pre-Games drug test for trimetazidine but was allowed to compete and was later disqualified, leading to the US upgrade to gold.
- France 24 reported she has cut ties with coach Eteri Tutberidze and joined the Navka skating academy in Moscow, performing in ice shows and charity work for two years.
- The ISU raised the minimum age from 15 to 17 and WADA's president said he didn't `feel comfortable with her presence` at the Milan Cortina Olympics.
- Ahead of the Paris 2024 Games, the IOC created pathways for neutral qualification, but Ukrainian officials challenge whether some Russians meet neutral-status rules, leaving future eligibility uncertain.
