Recall that due to disqualification, Russian athletes were deprived of gold in the team championship of the Olympic Games in Beijing (China). The Russians now occupy 3rd place.
“The Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKR) categorically disagrees with the sanction of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) regarding the disqualification for four years of Kamila Valieva, who, being a protected person, was in reality equated to an adult athlete , as well as the decision of the International Skating Union (ISU) to deprive Russian athletes of gold medals in the team figure skating competitions at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
