After the disqualification of Kamila Valieva, a redistribution of medals took place: Russia, which moved to third place, lost the gold to the American athletes and the silver went to the Japanese.
The winners from the United States and Japan received their medals on stage in front of the Eiffel Tower, but the Russian skaters were absent from the ceremony.
Last week, CAS rejected an appeal by Canadians who wanted them to be awarded third place in the team event after the medals were redistributed.
