Knierim after receiving gold for the 2022 Olympic team tournament: “We drew attention to the injustice that occurs in sport due to doping”

Figure skater Alexa Knierim, who competes in pairs for Team USA, said American athletes have drawn attention to doping issues.

The Beijing 2022 team medal ceremony for the U.S. and Japanese teams took place Wednesday at the Parc des Champions in Paris. The Russian team won the team tournament at the Games, but after Kamila Valieva was disqualified for an anti-doping rule violation, the results of the competition were revised. The International Skating Union (ISU) placed the U.S. team in first place, the Japanese team in second place, and the Russian team was supposed to receive bronze, but did not participate in the awards ceremony;

“It was worth the wait because we have drawn more attention to the injustice that sometimes occurs in sport due to doping.” The medal seems heavy, but it is definitely a relief,” the correspondent reports, reporting Knierim’s words.
