Canada and Russia Appeal 2022 Olympic Figure Skating Re-Ranking

The appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sport challenge the revised standings after Kamila Valieva's doping ban.

  • Canada and Russia have filed appeals with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the re-ranking of the 2022 Olympic figure skating team event.
  • The controversy stems from Kamila Valieva's positive test for a banned substance, leading to a reevaluation of the event's final standings.
  • Canada seeks to move up to bronze, arguing the International Skating Union (ISU) miscalculated the revised scores.
  • Russia aims to reclaim the gold medal position, challenging the ISU's decision to disqualify Valieva's scores.
  • The legal proceedings have delayed the awarding of medals, with no indication of when a hearing may occur.
