Fifteen-year-old figure skater Kamila Valieva was met with loud cheers and applause at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport as she returned to Russia on Friday after the Beijing Olympics. The mask-wearing teenager, who has been through emotional hell at the Olympics and repeatedly fell during her performance at a women’s single event on Thursday, refused to talk to reporters at the airport. As part of the Russian national team, Valieva, a Russian and European figure-skating champion, received 90.18 points, breaking the Olympic record. In the free programme, the Russian skater performed a quadruple salchow, as well as a quadruple toe-loop with a combination with triple toe-loop, gaining 178.
