Earlier, CAS dismissed Canada’s appeal against the result of the team figure skating tournament at the 2022 Olympic Games. The Russians retained the bronze. After Kamila Valieva’s result was annulled, the US team took first place and Japan took second place.
Tarasova reacted to the fact that CAS kept the 3rd place in the Olympic figure skating team championship for Russia
The team tournament awards ceremony will be held on August 7 in Paris. Medals will be awarded only to American and Japanese skaters. The IOC said it did not invite the Russians due to logistical complexities and the suspension of the Russian Olympic Committee.
“What does complex logistics mean? Wow, how clever. They talk about removing OCD, but why can’t athletes come to their personal awards?”
“I absolutely do not understand and I will never understand. This is a very cynical statement from the IOC. How can you not invite athletes? This was decided by idiots, cynics, incomprehensible people,” Tarasova said, as quoted by Match TV.
