U.S. Figure Skaters Awarded 2022 Olympic Gold After Valieva Doping Ruling

Court of Arbitration for Sport dismisses Russian appeals, confirming U.S. as gold medalists; Canada's bronze medal appeal still pending.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the disqualification of Russian skater Kamila Valieva for doping, resulting in the U.S. team being awarded gold medals for the 2022 Winter Olympics team event.
The ruling also upgraded Japan to silver while Russia was demoted to bronze, pending a separate appeal by Canada to claim the third-place spot.
Special medal ceremonies are planned during the 2024 Paris Olympics to honor athletes whose results have been revised due to doping cases.
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee expressed excitement about finally honoring their athletes at the Paris Games.
Valieva's doping case involved the banned substance trimetazidine, which led to her four-year suspension starting from December 2021.
