Meet Kamila Valieva: Russian figure skater who is first woman to ever land a quad jump at the Olympics The 15-year-old Russian Olympic Committee figure skater made history when she became the first woman to land any quad jump at the Winter Olympics. Not only did she land one, Vaieva successfully completed two of the three quads she attempted during her women's long program in the team figure skating event on Monday. "She is a triple threat – Technician, artist and she is so mentally tough," Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski said of Vaieva during NBC's broadcast. All eyes are now on Valieva to replicate her team event performance for an individual Olympic gold during the women single skating, where she's expected to medal, alongside ROC teammates Anna Shcherbakov and Alexandra Trusova. 📸 : George Walker IV (@usatodaysports) | #winterolympics #winterolympics2022 #beijing2022 #olympcis #figureskating
