Athletistic / Figure skating. Sports lawyer Anna Antseliovich said the International Skating Union (ISU) will have to pay attention to technical details to explain how points were recalculated during the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing, China ). Canada disagreed with the results of the competition, demanding that the bronze medals be stripped from Russia.
“It seems to me that the ISU will be quite difficult in court. If you pay attention to the CAS press release, the Canadians say that, in their opinion, the difference between their team and ours is only one point , and they ask to change the formula. Now the question will delve into technical and legal details, talking about how exactly the recalculation took place, “quotes RT Antseliovich.
On January 29, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne (Switzerland) decided to disqualify Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva for violating anti-doping rules during preparation for the 2022 Olympic Games. For this reason, the medal of gold in the team competition went to the American team, and Russia, by decision of the ISU, received bronze.
