Athletistic / Figure skating. Irina Rodnina, three-time Olympic champion and now a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, shared her opinion on the prospects of appealing the decision of the International Skating Union (ISU) to redistribute medals of the team figure skating championship at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing (China).

The bottom places were redistributed after Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was suspended for four years for doping.

Rodnina – about depriving Russia of gold in the team championship: “Nothing surprising”

“There are chances to challenge the decision to deprive Russia of gold medals in the team tournament. But for this you need convincing arguments. What we think is too little. Due to the disqualification of Valieva “, all her results in individual and team competitions will be canceled. I don’t know what arguments the Russian Olympic Committee will give when appealing this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport,” Rodnina quotes Vprognoze.ru.
