These U.S. figure skaters won gold in 2022. They finally got medals 2½ years later in Paris

LA Times  

Absolutely affirmative for the nine U.S. athletes who received gold medals Wednesday at the Paris Olympics, 2½ years after their figure skating team event ended at the Beijing Olympics. “That was everything,” said U.S. figure skater Alexa Knierim, whose fingernails were painted gold. The medal ceremony did not take place in Beijing because of legal uncertainty following the disqualification of Russian Olympic Committee figure skater Kamila Valieva because of a positive test for the performance-enhancing substance trimetazidine. Members of the U.S. and Japan Olympic figure skating teams pose for a photo after receiving medals following the disqualification of Team Russia for doping after the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing on Day 12 of the Paris Olympics 2024 at Champions Park on Wednesday in Paris.
