IOC asks CAS for quick ruling on Canada’s figure skating appeal
The HinduThe IOC has asked sport’s top court to get a quick ruling on a Canadian appeal to be awarded the bronze medal from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics figure skating team event following a Russian doping case, it said on Tuesday. It was thought that Canada, which finished fourth, would be promoted to bronze but the International Skating Union said the Russian team’s total score even after Valieva’s marks were erased was still a point better than the Canadians. “We really hope they get it done quickly,” IOC spokesperson Mark Adams told a press conference on Tuesday. We hope justice will be done as quickly as possible.” At the Beijing Games, Valieva was found guilty of doping earlier in the season and was banned for four years thus removing Russia as winners of the team event.
