The International Skating Union decided to share places at the Games after a doping scandal involving a figure skater.
The Russian Olympic team was awarded third place in the figure skating tournament at the 2022 Games. This decision was made by the International Skating Union, based on the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne.
We remind you that CAS canceled the previous day all the results of figure skater Kamila Valieva, starting from December 25, 2021, due to her use of doping.
After that, the ISU stripped the Russian team of gold, which competed in the tournament under neutral flags.
Since the aggressor country was deprived of 20 points out of the 74 total team points scored by the national team, after that Russia was left with 54 points and dropped from first place to third. The Russians finished just one point ahead of Canada, who finished fourth. The gold went to the USA, the silver to Japan.
Updated standings for the 2022 Olympics team tournament:
1. USA – 65
2. Japan – 63
3. OCD – 54
4. Canada – 53
