That dot is Kamila Valieva, being watched in her final practice by more media than have been at the #FigureSkating yet. #Beijing2022 Image
Valieva falls twice in her final practice ahead of tonight's short programme, including on her triple axel. Looks rattled and currently deep in chat with coach Eteri Tutberidze.

Here goes. Russia's Kamila Valieva, skating under the most pressure, is on the ice.

Scores this season in the short program.

87.42 - Rostelecom Cup, Sochi
90.45 - Europeans in Estonia (🌎 record)
90.18 - Team competition #Beijing2022

#FigureSkating
Not flawless from Kamila Valieva. Error on the triple axel (which has been an issue in practice in recent days) and she scores 82.16 (that's her lowest score of the season) on the short program.

#FigureSkating
Kamila Valieva's Russian team-mate Anna Shcherbakova scores 80.20 season's best to take second heading into the free programme - closer than many predicted. Fascinating stuff. #FigureSkating #Beijing2022
