The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed the appeals field by Russian Olympic Committe, the Figure Skating Federation of Russia and Russian skaters Aleksandr Galliamov, Nikita Katsalapov, Mark Kondratiuk, Anastasia Mishina, Victoria Sinitsina and Kamila Valieva against the reranking decision announced by the International Skating Union in relation to the final standings for the Team Event in figure skating at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022.
“The Appellants had sought a ruling from CAS re-ranking the figure skating Team Event and awarding the gold medal to the ROC. Following the hearing that took place on 12 June 2024, the Panel deliberated and concluded that the results of Ms Valieva in the Olympic Figure Skating Team Event were correctly disqualified in the Challenged Decision, and that the ROC Skating Team could not be awarded the gold medal. Consequently, the above-mentioned appeals are dismissed. 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,” states CAS media release.
“The second CAS Panel, different from the first, constituted to resolve the related, but separate, appeal 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, held a hearing at the CAS headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland on 22 July 2024.
The Canadian Appellants also seek a ruling from CAS re-ranking the figure skating Team Event, as follows: United States of America (Gold); Japan (Silver); Canada (Bronze).
The second CAS Panel is now deliberating. It is not possible to indicate at this time when the second
Panel’s decision will be issued,” also stated in the CAS media release.
