Despite the disqualification of Kamila Valieva<\/a> in a doping case, the Russian figure skating team still stands to finish on the podium and get bronze medals from the 2022 Beijing Olympics<\/a> behind the United States and Japan.<\/p>\n

The Americans moved into the gold medal position in the team event and Japan has been upgraded to silver from bronze. The demoted Russians drop into third place, one point ahead of Canada even after being stripped of the points the then-15-year-old Valieva earned on the ice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The International Skating Union published an amended standings from the Beijing competition that removed Valieva\u2019s maximum 10 points from each of her two events but did not add an extra point to the other teams below her.<\/p>\n

The proposal by the ISU is likely to provoke fresh legal action at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which on Monday disqualified Valieva from the 2022 Olympics and other events, and banned her for four years until December 2025.<\/p>\n

Russian Olympic officials they will appeal to regain the Olympic title, arguing that ISU rules mean sanctions against Valieva \u201ccannot be the basis for reviewing the results of the team event".<\/p>\n

A second challenge at CAS could come from fourth-place Canada because the rest of the field did not have their points increased by the ISU following Valieva's disqualification.<\/p>\n

\u201cSkate Canada strongly disagrees with the ISU\u2019s position on this matter and will consider all options to appeal this decision,\u201d the country\u2019s figure skating body said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The final decision on awarding medals is for the International Olympic Committee, which the head of the United States Olympic and Paralympic body is \u201cas eagre as we are\u201d to get the gold medals to the American skaters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no scenario at this point in which Team USA is not the gold medal winners," USOPC chief executive Sarah Hirshland told reporters on a call, "so we are focused on getting the gold medals awarded.\u201d<\/p>\n

Skating's world body is responsible for amending the Olympic event result and said it had consulted with the IOC.<\/p>\n

\"Kamila<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ISU is in close contact with the International Olympic Committee and the relevant ISU member federations in regard to the implementation of this decision,\u201d the governing body said.<\/p>\n

The unprecedented turmoil of cancelling the medal ceremony at the Olympics has tested the rules of figure skating's team event, which debuted at the 2014 Sochi Games. The Russians and Canadians traded gold and silver at the first two editions.<\/p>\n

In the newly updated Beijing result, Canada still gets eight points out of 10 from the women\u2019s short program and free skate sections, where its skater was Madeline Schizas. Japan still gets nine points each for originally finishing second to Valieva \u2014 Wakaba Higuchi in the short program and Kaori Sakamoto in the free skate.<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s overall point total remained at 53 while the Russians\u2019 tally dropped from 74 to 54 \u2014 enough for the bronze medals for everyone on the team except the disqualified Valieva.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
