Abstract

The U.S. has been declared the winner of the 2022 Olympic team figure skating competition after the Russian results were voided due to the disqualification of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva for doping. The decision by the International Skating Union is the first time Team USA has been assigned gold medals for the event. However, the Russian Olympic Committee plans to challenge the decision and has begun preparing documents for an appeal. The situation is part of a larger geopolitical saga and may result in multiple legal arguments and medal ceremonies. [Extracted from the article]
