Russia’s appeal against the reallocation of the 2022 Olympic team figure skating medals has been dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).

Valieva was a member of Russia’s winning team in Beijing.

Russia had appealed against the decision, which saw the United States promoted to gold with Japan taking silver, but Cas said the decision to disqualify Valieva stands.
Canada, meanwhile, have also lodged an appeal as they believe they should have been awarded bronze following Valieva’s disqualification.
Cas said a decision on that is yet to be made.
