BEIJING :Kamila Valieva was only seven years old when she watched her Russian compatriots win gold in the inaugural figure skating team event at the 2014 Sochi Games, dreaming that she would become an Olympic champion one day.
Great Britain are beginning to muscle in on medal contention on the third day of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, with chances emerging in curling and freestyle. Meanwhile, some of the biggest international names are also beginning their respective quests for glory.
BEIJING: Russian teenage star Kamila Valieva made figure skating history on Monday (Feb 7), becoming the first woman to land a quadruple jump at the Olympics - and not content with one, she landed two.
Manos encima de la cabeza, que inmediatamente se desplazan a las rodillas para agacharse de forma incrédula, y lágrimas de emoción. La secuencia de Kamila Valieva tras conseguir lo nuca visto. La patinadora rusa, a sus 15 años, puso el broche al oro del Comité Olímpico Ruso en la modalidad por equipos de patinaje artístico. El qué no era novedad, pero el cómo, sí. El combinado ruso llegaba tras ser plata en PyeongChang y oro en Sochi, cuando se estrenó la disciplina en unos Juegos Olímpicos. Estar en el podio era casi una obligación; hacerlo de esta manera, no, pero se agradece. Valieva, última componente en salir en el programa libre, regaló una experiencia única a todos los asistentes con dos cuádruples saltos que van directos a la historia. Es la primera deportista femenina que los firma en una cita olímpica. Intentó un tercero, que se le escapó.
Fifteen-year-old Kamila Valieva dominated on her Olympic debut Sunday in Beijing, coming close to breaking her own world record and propelling the Russians into first place ahead of the United States in the figure skating team event. Valieva, the favourite in the women's individual event, swept away the competition with a score of 90.18 in the short programme, skimming across the ice with almost supernatural poise and precision. Japan's Wakaba Higuchi came a distant second with 74.73. "I felt a little bit nervous, but also calm," a glowing Valieva said afterwards, adding this was an unusual feeling.
