Exclusive: USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland has just confirmed to @usatodaysports that the United States will receive the gold medal in the 2022 Olympic figure skating team competition. The IOC statement below led to this late-breaking news.
We are extremely proud of our 2022 Olympic champions – Nathan Chen, Vincent Zhou, Karen Chen, Alexa Knierim, Brandon Frazier, Madison Chock, Evan Bates, Madison Hubbell, Zachary Donohue – for their excellence on and off the ice. #MoreThanMedals
The ISU finally breaks its silence — with no information about the 2022 Olympic team figure skating medals. Says it will tell us tomorrow. Apparently two years wasn’t enough. Unbelievable. Total amateur hour.
Here’s the decision: A four-year ban for Valieva from Dec 2021 to Dec 2025. Her Olympic results are disqualified, CAS says. A huge win for clean sport and massive loss for the Russian doping system.
