CAS Rules US Figure Skating Team Olympic Gold Medalists

The US Olympic Committee will be awarded the gold medal in team figure skating from the 2022 Winter Games following the Court of Arbitration for Sport's decision to disqualify Russian skater Kamila Valieva for doping. Valieva, 17, tested positive for the banned substance trimetazidine in December 2021, but the result was only confirmed prior to the Olympics in February 2022. A dignified medal ceremony will be organized by the IOC for the US, Japanese, and Canadian teams, who have waited two years for this resolution. The Russian Olympic Committee has announced its intention to appeal the decision.
