Enbert – on the bronze medal of Russian figure skaters at the team tournament of the 2022 Games: “A kind of victory in the current situation”

World Championship bronze medalist Alexandre Enbert told that the bronze medals at the team tournament at the Beijing Olympics can be called a victory for Russian figure skaters.

On Friday, CAS announced that it had rejected the Canadian side’s appeal against the results of the figure skating team competition at the 2022 Olympic Games. The Russian athletes retained their bronze medals.

— First of all, we must once again remember the excellent performance of our team at the Olympics, each member of the team remembered their incredible performances, with the best programs in the world. Probably, in the current situation, given the whole process and the pressure on the organization, bronze is a kind of victory. All our athletes at that time were the best, we know that, “Enbert told .

The Russian team won the team tournament, but after Kamila Valieva was disqualified for an anti-doping rule violation, the results of the competition were revised. The International Skating Union (ISU), after canceling Valieva’s results, placed the American team in first place, the Japanese team in second place, and the Russian team was supposed to receive bronze. Team Canada, which placed fourth, also claimed third place by filing an appeal with CAS against the ISU decision.

As a result, the American team took first place in the tournament with 65 points, the Japanese team (63) took second place, and the Russian team (54) took third place. Valieva, Mark Kondratyuk, Anastasia Mishina and Alexander Gallyamov, Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov performed for the Russian team in Beijing.

Earlier it was reported that the medal ceremony, which will be attended by Americans and Japanese, will take place on August 7 in Paris.
