Kamila Valieva talked to journalists after the skate:
"I can't say I'm ready, like last year. It's going to be harder this year. Is it a struggle with yourself? Not a struggle, a step at a time, carefully getting back into shape.
I don't know about lutz-rittberger yet, I use it for spinning: the more you do it, the faster you spin. This is the preparation for the quads. But if I'm sure of him, then why not. While I have injuries, so I can't fall from the quad. In general, it is undesirable to fall.
Now it's getting better, it doesn't bother me much, but if I fall unsuccessfully… I will not rush things, I will wait for a full recovery. This is the beginning of the season, we have a month before the next starts"
