Athletistic / Figure skating. Tatiana Tarasova, Honored Coach of the USSR in figure skating, assessed Canada’s chances of challenging the results of the figure skating team championship at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing (China).

After the disqualification of Russian Kamila Valieva for doping, the Russian team moved from 1st to 3rd place. But now the Canadian Figure Skating Federation has expressed its displeasure with the end result. If the Russians are excluded from the protocol, the Canadian team will take third place. Canada said it could appeal the decision.

“Can the Canadians win bronze? If we have the kind of defenders Kamila Valieva had, they could even put us in last place.

The coaches of Eteri Tutberidze’s team were silent for a long time, probably because they were stunned by this news,” Tarasova was quoted as saying by TASS.
