Appeal rejected
CAS decides: No figure skating bronze for Canada!
Canada's figure skaters have failed in their bid to move up to bronze in the team competition at the 2022 Olympic Games!
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected the Canadians' appeal to have Russia relegated to fourth place. Following the doping suspension of Russian Kamila Valiyeva, the new classification remains with gold for the USA, silver for Japan and bronze for Russia.
Russia had also lodged an appeal
According to the CAS, Valiyeva was rightly disqualified. But according to the rules of the International Skating Union (ISU), there would have been no way to redistribute the points in favor of Team Canada. The court thus also confirmed the third place for Russia, which had also appealed and wanted to keep the gold it had originally won.
