The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will uphold the decision of the International Skating Union (ISU) that the Russian figure skating team will retain the bronze medal at the 2022 Olympic team tournament, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said. sports lawyer Anna Antseliovich.
In February, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced the registration of four appeals against the ISU decision on the redistribution of medals from the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games: from the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC ), the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), the Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), Russian figure skaters, as well as the Canadian Figure Skating Federation. Hearings on the Russian side’s appeals will take place on June 12. The CAS plans to review the Canadians’ appeal on July 22.
— I think that the CAS will uphold the decision of the ISU, according to which the Russian team will always have a bronze medal in the team tournament. This will be a sort of Solomon’s Compromise that potentially suits everyone.
— Do you think there will be bias when making the decision on July 22?
— It’s difficult to say, because the ISU didn’t take the medal from us. Yes, they recalculated the points, but left the bronze,” Antseliovich told .
At the end of January, the CAS suspended Kamila Valieva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. The 17-year-old Russian’s suspension period begins on December 25, 2021, and her results have been canceled since that date. The athlete’s sample contained banned trimetazidine.
The CAS decision led to a review of the results of the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Games, where the Russian team won. First place is now awarded to the American team, the Japanese are second and the Russians will receive bronze. The Canadians took fourth place.
