Athletistic / Figure skating. Olympic biathlon champion Svetlana Ishmuratova has commented on Russia’s attempts to challenge the International Skating Union’s (ISU) decision to revise the results of the team figure skating championship at the 2022 Olympics.

Due to the disqualification of Kamila Valieva, the Russians lost their gold medals. After recalculation of the points, Russia moved from 1st to 3rd place.

Rodnina spoke about her attempt to challenge the ISU’s decision to strip Russian figure skaters of gold at the 2022 Olympics

Russia appealed the ISU’s decision. At the same time, Canada is trying to obtain a recount in its favor in order to obtain bronze medals.

“There are few chances. In my opinion, there are practically none. An athlete who participated in the team discipline was disqualified.

I don’t see the logic in appealing, but I hope that the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) and the Russian Figure Skating Federation know and understand what they are doing,” Ishmuratova is quoted in Match TV.
