In the team event, they were fourth in rhythm dance and third in the free dance. Kirsten Moore-Towers, Michael Marinaro, Eric Radford and Vanessa James were the other Canadian team members in Beijing along with Roman Sadovsky.
The Summer Games formally open four days later and the International Olympic Committee aims to finally present medals in Paris for the figure skating team event from Beijing before the closing ceremony on Aug. 11. That will be 2 1/2 years after Valieva helped Russia skate to team gold, ahead of the United States, Japan and fourth-placed Canada.
Valieva was eventually disqualified from the Olympics, and banned from the sport for four years, by a different CAS panel of judges in January. The judges did not accept her lawyers' claim she was contaminated by a banned heart medication that got into a strawberry dessert prepared by her grandfather.
Three Russian appeals to CAS against the ISU's amended result, from the Russian athletes, their national skating federation and the Russian Olympic body seeking to be restored to gold, were heard on June 12. Those verdicts have not been published.The Canadian appeal to get the bronze medals is the last to be heard.
