The ISU (through the ISU Council) has made their decision. The appeal will go to CAS who will review all of the ISU's docs and rules pertaining to the Team Event and decide if the ISU has applied their rules correctly.
You're probably correct but we all know this is eventually going to wind up in front of CAS because either Russia or Canada will appeal whatever decision any ISU and/or IOC Appeals/Grievances Committee arrives at.
It literally says "competitor ... will move up accordingly in their placement". In other words, it says all ladies who finished the competition and placed lower than Valieva move up accordingly in their placement.
But the competitor was Russia not an individual. The points go to country
I don’t see how that happens at this point. CAS is going to be asked for yes/no answers on a couple of questions, which would lead to a definitive answer that either the ISU is right, Russia is right, or Canada is right.
And what are the points based on, again?
The NOCs skater. But the competitor is the NOCI don’t see how that happens at this point. CAS is going to be asked for yes/no answers on a couple of questions, which would lead to a definitive answer that either the ISU is right, Russia is right, or Canada is right.
And what are the points based on, again?
And if the NOC skater is disqualified, and thus earned no points…
Yes, but it is not the Lord.
I protest. All proponents of the Double Bronze Solution must be lauded for using common sense.And when it does, I want it on record that I called the double bronzes first.
Russia shouldn't get anything. They were caught doping, and lost 20 pts. Everyone she move up a point.
But is it the Lord of the Dance, the Rings or the Flies?
A country cannot be a competitor in an athletics competition (or any competition that isn't meant to rank the country as a whole really) and technically, a team can't be a competitor either. The individuals are competitors competing as a team and that team represents a country.
In this case the team in question did not even represent a country, but a country's Olympic Committee.
But ROC's set of bronze medals should be made of strawberry desserts.
You are too harsh. The skaters should receive lumps of coal, and the ROC should receive a permanent ban for state-sponsored doping.
The ISU should serve strawberry cake and have drinking cups labeled Grandpa at the medal ceremony.You are too harsh. The skaters should receive lumps of coal, and the ROC should receive a permanent ban for state-sponsored doping.
It's The Flies of the DanceBut is it the Lord of the Dance, the Rings or the Flies?
Seriously. I understand the need to respond to ridiculous posts, but this troll has shown to provide posts of little-to-no value for over a decade by now, and he clearly loves the attention he receives from his posts. He knows what to write to get the reaction.
I agree, but any more steps with the ISU drags on the timeline.You're probably correct but we all know this is eventually going to wind up in front of CAS because either Russia or Canada will appeal whatever decision any ISU and/or IOC Appeals/Grievances Committee arrives at.
The biggest troll opinion ever and biggest post of no value ever on this forum has been “lysacek deserved to win Olympics”
