LAUSANNE — The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed a Canadian appeal of the International Skating Union's decision to award the bronze medal in the team figure skating event from the 2022 Beijing Olympics to Russia.
The Canadian appeal had challenged the ISU decision and argued Canada should have been given points after Valieva's disqualification that would have given it the bronze medal. "We believe that under the International Skating Union’s rules, the points should have been reallocated following the doping sanction against Russian skater Kamila Valieva, and it is unfortunate that the CAS did not agree. We applaud Team Canada’s figure skaters for having endured this lengthy process with grace, and we admire them for their performance on and off the ice."
Her disqualification removed Valieva's maximum 10 points from each of her two events, but that still gave Russia one more point than fourth-place Canada in the revised standings.
