Valentina disclosed the reason why she was unable to reach a better place at ACE 2019 few weeks ago. She was in Moscow Metro when she received two sudden punches in her jaw. She had no time and desire to go to doctors or police. It happened two days before her departure to the competition. She felt pain in her joints the next day and after that. It prevented her to do back posing in the best way. Valentine felt pain for several weeks, but she was too preoccupied with her job to go to doctors. Finally, the masseur at her fitness center managed to heal her neck. She feels much better now.
