Olympic champion Natalia Bestemyanova said that Russian figure skaters are unlikely to be happy with the fact that they received only bronze medals following the results of the team tournament at the Beijing Olympics, but Russian fans should be happy with the less frequent good news from the world of sports these days.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed the Canadian side’s appeal against the results of the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing. The Russian athletes retained their bronze medals.
– In this situation, it’s good. It’s a pity that it’s not gold, that it’s bronze.
“The guys are unhappy that they didn’t get gold. And we are all happy that at least something positive happened,” Bestemyanova told .
Earlier, the ISU redistributed the medals for the 2022 team tournament after Russia’s Kamila Valieva was disqualified for an anti-doping rule violation. In January, the ISU annulled Valieva’s results and moved the Russian team from first to third place. The U.S. team took first place and Japan took second. Team Canada, which placed fourth, also claimed third place by filing an appeal with CAS against the ISU decision.
