The Russian figure skating team was not invited to Paris for the medal ceremony of the team competition at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. This was announced by the International Olympic Committee representative Mark Adams. DEA News.
“Who from Russia will participate in the bronze medal? There will be no presentation of gold and silver to anyone,” he said.
The presentation ceremony of the redistributed medals will take place on August 7.
Russia moved from first to third place with Kamila Valieva’s disqualification. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected Russia’s appeal against being stripped of the team gold, leaving the medals redistributed: the USA won gold, Japan won silver and Russia won bronze.
On January 29, 2024, CAS found Valieva guilty of doping and disqualified her. She will not be able to compete in tournaments until December 2025. She will also not be able to train at state ice rinks.
On February 7, 2024, CAS published the justification for the Valieva case. In the skater’s blood, in addition to the banned trimetazidine, three permitted substances were found: ecdysterone, hypoxene and L-carnitine, as well as more than 50 supplements.
