In his telegram sent to the athlete Kamila Valiyeva, Tatarstan President Rustan Minnikhanov has said:

“Dear Kamila! On behalf of Tatarstan figure skating fans and I personally congratulate you with the title of the Olympic champion and your first decisive victory at the highest level competitions. It is really a great master craft to become the best in single skating, but to show brilliant performance as a member of the team is a huge responsibility both to yourself and the team. You have done a stellar job of this trial adding on to the gold assets of the Russian team and have become the first athlete among women who performed the most difficult quadruple jumps. Let emotions of this important personal and the big common triumph inspire you for new bright performances and decisive victories. Go only forward, our young ice queen, in the way only you can do it – impeccably clearly and gracefully for the judges, beautifully beyond the reach of competitors, and fairy enchanting for millions of figure skating fans. I wish you success!

President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov”.
