I thought that was a 3Lz at first and my jaw dropped.
But in any case that was extremely clean... I think someone is preparing for a return!!!

It is said that Kamila will continue training in Navka's school under Sokolovskaya... Well if true, than I think it is a goodbye to competitions. It has some logic, Navka gave her a job when she was suspended, but I don't think she has a chance to return to competitions with Sokolovskaya.
It's confirmed by Navka. Valieva decided to join the training group of Sokolovskaya.
Well, at least Russian figure skating has it's super-mega-hyper-star back. Last chance for Alisik to win the Russian Championships. Russian federation will do everything to make Valieva happy.
For Sokolovskaya it's a "once in a lifetime" chance to become successful with Valieva.

People say, it might be to "protect" Adeliia before the Olympics that she left Eteri, to make sure Adeliia actually gets to participate to the OG...I don't know if it's true but you never know.

There truly is an opinion that if Kamila would train in Eteri's team it would violate the ISU condition for "neutral athletes".
That's maybe true. But I don't think it was the reason. I think Alexey Zheleznyakov is much closer to reality:
Хореограф Тутберидзе — о решении Валиевой возобновить карьеру: «Немного опечалил выбор тренера» - Sport24
Алексей Железняков, хореограф группы заслуженного тренера России по фигурному катанию Этери Тутберидзе, прокомментировал информацию о том, что фигуристка Камила Валиева планирует возобновить карьеру после дисквалификации в школе олимпийской чемпионки Татьяны Навки.

I don't think Kamila joining TT would violate any neutral clause. I hope its true though and she comes back to TT later or else it is a travesty. Sokolovskaya can't handle that talent, sorry.
Kamila didn't win anything before anyways. What are you talking about? Alisik still isn't even the favourite. She has no 3A. I can't understand the Dvoeglazova syndrome Russian skating has succumbed to.
She will return but not at the right standard.

Well, I, for one, am glad she's not going back to Eteri. Why go back to the people who put you in that situation in the first place and failed to protect you? Anyway, Kami will be 20 soon. It's not like Eteri has any use for her outside of PR. I'm iffy on Sokolovskaya as a coach, but just going off what we've seen from Kami in shows, as long as she has the motivation, I think she'll be fine.

I think TT don't want to take any risk. You never know how IOC will decide
I think TT would be the best team for Valieva too. Let's wait and see what will happen.
Valieva didn't win anything, correct. I guess she was struggling with puberty and the final motivation. Now she's fully grown (we will see if it is good or bad) and her motivation is higher. Based on her reaction at RusNats 2023 she was very unhappy and didn't want to end her career like this. Extra boost for motivation.
Her sliding, flexibility and spins are still very good. If at least 3A (and of course the other triple) can be restored Valieva is save on podium. With a quad she will win. Overall the Russian figure skating for women is in my opinion not that strong to make it impossible for Valieva to become Champion. I'm sure, the federation will also give her some "bonus points" as the only active superstar in Russian figure skating.
It's a bit off topic, but I'm curious: Who is your favorite?
We will see. One is for sure: Everyone would be more confident, if Valieva would be back at TT. Except the KamiBots who are very happy with Valieva's decission. But that's another story.
