2022 Olympic FS Team Event delayed medal ceremony - updates

[Vagabond]

We will always have Paris.

And 4 of the skaters have gotten married (Madi H, Zach, Madi C, Evan) and 4 (Alexa, Brandon, Madi H, Zach) are coaching.

 

[puglover]

Amazing!! Congratulations U.S. and Japan!! Finally

 

[Carolla5501]

False. Russians are not Putin and are not the war! They should be invited and welcomed like warmonger Americans and British

And our resident Russian cheerleader is present and accounted for. Hey sweetheart, they’re not coming

I’m sorry that you support the thugs but they won’t be in Paris. The French wouldn’t give them a visa to a bathroom much less to an official Olympic event ?

Will this be televised or streamed?

I had 3 got married (wasn't sure about Zach) and 3 maybe 4 coaching.

It’s not yet on the schedule but medal ceremonies are usually in the evening…for now guessing 2pm eastern US time (8pm Paris)?

We know that NBC will be all over this - and by then Tara and Johnny will be in Paris (they're doing the closing ceremonies) and of course Terry is there for gymnastics already.

I didn’t oppose America in Olympics during their wars of evil why should I oppose Russia?

 

[HeatherC]

I hate how long this took to get resolved but I am THRILLED that the athletes are finally going to receive their medals!

Yes, I definitely think that NBC will make sure to feature this in their primetime broadcast on the 7th. They're going to make sure that this team gets their due. Plus, it will be a good way to begin hyping up interest in Milano-Cortina - can Team USA defend their Team Gold in FS? Be here in just 18 months to find out!

Russia is still beating the old "She didn't test positive at Euros/Olympics" drum and blaming WADA. It's impossible to have any sympathy for them when they just don't accept responsibility

 

[Badams]

I'm seriously happy for the teams, but nothing can replace the medal ceremony they deserved at their Olympic games. Not trying be a Debbie Downer, but the slower than snails pace of this is ridiculous. These athletes deserved better.

The issues raised in the Canadian appeal are about the application of rules and precedents. The Russian appeals were based on contesting Valieva's disqualification. While the Canadian appeal was dependent on the decision in Russia's appeals, the underlying issue of each case is different.

 

[barbk]

So...do they get USA Summer Games medal attire and joining the closing ceremony?

Romanian team that had person test positive at that Olympics didn’t lost their team medal. This is extreme anti Russia hatred and asymmetrical warfare and violates that Romania precedent

No it doesn't because the circumstances were very different, but you already know that.

There is no way to make Romania keeping team gold make sense while Russia doesn’t. You know that!

This situation has been discussed before and you saying it ain't so doesn't change the fact that the circumstances are different and that the ROC doesn't deserve the gold medal for this event. The correct decision was to disqualify Valieva's result and the points she earned. That dropped them out of the gold medal position. They will be lucky if they are allowed to keep the bronze.

I don’t know why Russia is still even interested and why it’s still legal for Russians to go to Olympics and posses IOC property. These wretched double standards! Romanians and Chinese can dope and keep medals with no problem. America can launch wars and do major offensives during Olympics in illegal wars no problem! It’s disgusting!

 

[Dub16]

The delay was unfortunate. However, justice takes times and all parties deserve due process even countries like Russia who keep breaking the rules. Glad to see the Americans and Japanese get their medals. Hope the Canadians are successful in their appeal.

The article I linked from Christine Brennan yesterday said they are getting new outfits

 

[coppertop1]

Now give Canada the bronze, and all three can get what they deserve. Just DSQ Russia all together. This should be a reminder that Russia shouldn't be allowed back until they clean up their act. They have had too many chances.

Actually what we know is that if you say it, it's probably fiction LOL Your ability to take totally unrelated things and make them the same is entertaining but not really factual. But you do add a bizarre element here.

Needed. Madison has had a baby since then! Plus the winter garb would be too hot!

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Oh wow, I had avoided this thread for a while because it’s so depressing the teams weren’t getting their medals, I decided to pop back in here today. OK so they are getting their medals? And it looks like they’re going to hold off for the bronze? Oh my gosh just give ?? the Bronze tee-hee

You would deprive your top Canadian BF of the bronze?

Well, I just decided if the “you know what team” and Canada can’t sort it out, then just toss a bone to Italy.

 

[Judy]

I’m happy that the U.S. and Japan are getting their medals and I can be patient to see what happens with the Canada situation.

Nice!!! I was wondering what they could wear too.
