The prospect of a comeback for Russia's Kamila Valieva, who was suspended for violating anti-doping rules in the women's figure skating singles competition, remains uncertain. Valieva was found to have violated anti-doping rules at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, where she was expected to win gold, but she said she wanted to return after the end of 2025, when the four-year penalty ended. It is said that based on her current age of 18, she aims to return to the Russian figure skating team once again after her return.

In this case,Russian curler,Anna Sidlova, silver medalist at the 2017 Women's World Curling Championships, recently gave an interview to the Russian media MatchTV. "Valieva is very good, has incredible talent, and is often a gem on ice." She gave assurances from an athlete's point of view, but on the other hand, she said: "It's very difficult to come back. "It looks like it will take a while for Valieva to regain her old athletic ability.
Sidlova also noted: "She (Valieva) is not motivated herself. It's hard to judge from the outside. Anyway, what she wants for herself is more important. "Will Valieva, who recently starred in an ice show in Moscow, Russia, return to the front line? Let's wait and see.
