Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, Olympic champion Svetlana Jourova told that the Russian figure skating team will under no circumstances be invited to the medal ceremony at the 2022 Olympics, regardless of the final decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
In February, the CAS announced the registration of four appeals against the decision of the International Skating Union (ISU) on the redistribution of medals from the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games: from the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC ), the Russian Figure Skating Federation (FFKKR), Russian figure skaters, as well as the Canadian Figure Skating Federation, which will be reviewed on July 22. As USA Today reporter Christine Brennan reported, after the redistribution, the medals could be awarded on August 7 during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
— It is clear that Canada advocates that we should not receive any medals. I think we should get gold medals. But I think that, whatever the end of this story, it is unlikely that the IOC will invite our team to present the Olympic awards, “Zhurova told .
In late January, CAS disqualified Russian Kamila Valieva for four years for an anti-doping rule violation. The figure skater’s ineligibility period begins on December 25, 2021, and her results from that date are void. The athlete’s sample contained the banned drug 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 now goes to the American team, the Japanese are second, the Russians will receive bronze. The Canadians took fourth place.
The 2024 Olympic Games will be held in Paris from July 26 to August 11.
