The medal ceremony was originally scheduled for Feb. 8, but it was delayed over a situation that required “legal consultation” with the International Skating Union, according to International Olympic Committee spokesperson Mark Adams.
Since the news broke, many have questioned whether the ROC should even continue competing in the Olympics, what will happen to Valieva and if the ROC should be stripped of its team medal.
She is the second woman to land the quadruple toe loop , the fourth woman to land a quadruple jump of any kind and the third woman to land a triple Axel and quadruple jump in the same program after the U.S.’ Alysa Liu and her teammate Sofia Akateva. The reasoning behind the long wait for the results are still unclear, but the Russian Anti-Doping Agency attributes it to COVID-19.
“The panel considered that preventing the athlete to compete at the Olympic Games would cause her irreparable harm in the circumstances,” CAS director general Matthieu Reeb said. No medal ceremonies mean that other competitors, if Valieva and the ROC were to finish in the top three, would also not receive their medals.Yes. Valieva has already participated in the women’s short program on Feb. 15, taking the number-one spot with a score of 82.16. Following behind her was her ROC teammate Anna Shcherbakova and Japan’s Kaori Sakamoto in second and third place, respectively.
