CAS Denies Canada’s Appeal for Bronze Medal

Canada have failed in an appeal to be awarded a bronze medal from the 2022 Winter Olympic team figure skating event.

Russia were dropped from gold to bronze in the competition by the International Skating Union after Kamila Valieva, received a four-year ban for doping.

The United States were promoted to gold with Japan taking silver.

Despite the removal of Valieva’s marks, the ISU said Russia’s total score at the Beijing Games was a point higher than fourth-placed Canada.

Canada disputed the decision but the the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled against them.
