2022 Olympic FS Team Event delayed medal ceremony - updates

It's nobody's fault but Canada's own that they didn't push for this like the US did. If they knew and wanted that bronze, they should have pushed. You don't get to insert yourselves into someone else's moment now.

They couldn't push because of the way it unfolded. As soon as they were able, they filed appeals and were vocal about it.

They're also not trying to insert themselves into someone else's moment. They literally said to award the medals to USA and Japan, and not wait for the outcome of their appeal.

Why? When someone who finished third in an Olympic event gets disqualified after the original medal ceremony because better testing has been developed and detects a namned substance, no one expects the gold and silver medalists to come to the medal ceremony. In fact, it is better that they don't; all focus should be on the bronze medalist who is finally receiving recognition.

We have said why. Is there any point in telling you? You're not listening to what others here are saying

I don’t understand what we’re talking about, the podium is USA Japan and Canada. It takes a kindergarten education to figure it out. No need for this to be dragged on, it’s out of control ridiculous.

At the moment, the podium is USA, Japan, and Russia, and it will take an arbitration decision to change that.

In an ideal world, the CAS would have issued a decision reversing the ISU's decision by now. The last time I checked, however, we don't live in an ideal world.

Why don’t we from FSU just gift Canada the bronze. Let’s right a wrong.
 
They would need a visa. For now even the Russian journalists who were granted an accreditation had troubles getting their visas, more than that, some of the journalists who had both the accreditaiton and the visa granted had their accreditations revoked.
 
The journalists are ostensibly in France for work, so they would be eligible for work visas unless there were a reason not to grant them. The figure skaters, though, wouldn't be there to work.

MEDIA RELEASE

OWG BEIJING 2022 – FIGURE SKATING – TEAM EVENT
THE COURT OF ARBITRATION FOR SPORT (CAS) DISMISSES THE APPEAL
FILED BY CANADIAN FIGURE SKATERS, SKATE CANADA,
AND THE CANADIAN OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

Lausanne, 2 August 2024 – The CAS Panel in charge of the appeals filed by Canadian skaters Madeline
Schizas, Piper Gilles, Paul Poirier, Kirsten Moore-Towers, Michael Marinaro, Eric Radford, Vanessa
James and Roman Sadovsky, together with Skate Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC)
(collectively, the Appellants) against the re-ranking decision announced by the International Skating
Union (ISU) on 30 January 2024 (the Challenged Decision) in relation to the final standings for the Team
Event in figure skating at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 has issued its decision: the appeal is
dismissed. The ranking announced by the ISU on 30 January 2024 is confirmed as follows:

1. United States of America 65 pts (gold)
2. Japan 63 pts (silver)
3. Russia 54 pts (bronze)

The Appellants had sought a ruling from CAS re-ranking the figure skating Team Event as follows: re-
ranking the figure skating Team Event, as follows: United States of America (Gold); Japan (Silver);
Canada (Bronze).

Following the hearing that took place on 22 July 2024, the Panel of CAS arbitrators in charge of the
matter deliberated and concluded that the results of the Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva in the
Olympic Figure Skating Team Event were correctly disqualified, without any possibility in the ISU Rules
to re-allocate points in favour of Team Canada, following the retroactive disqualification of Kamila
Valieva.

The Panel issued the Operative Part of the Arbitral Award. The full award, with the grounds for the
Panel’s decision, will be issued as soon as possible.

And Skate Canada says they respect the decision and they will move forward with athlete development. Mess.
