CAS said in a press release, "Russia requested that the results of the figure skating team event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics be revised to 'gold medal Russia, silver medal USA, bronze medal Japan', while Canada requested 'gold medal USA, silver medal Japan, bronze medal Canada, 4th place Russia.'

“I appealed and said it should be adjusted to ,” he said.

CAS added, “We will begin the arbitration process with appeals from Russia and Canada,” adding, “The hearing schedule has not been confirmed.”

The Russian Olympic Committee ranked first in the figure skating team event at the 2022 Beijing Olympics thanks to Valieva's performance, followed by the United States, Japan, and Canada.

However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) did not hold a team medal ceremony and provisionally postponed her final results, citing Valieva's positive doping test.

Valieva's doping issue went to court.

After looking into the matter for nearly two years, CAS ruled last month that Valieva's violations were acknowledged and suspended her as a player for four years.

On this basis, the ISU deleted Valiyeva's personal record for competing in the figure team event at the Beijing Olympics.

However, the ISU only gave 0 points for the women's single short program and free skating scores in the team event in which Valieva competed, and the Russian Olympic Committee's men's short-free, pairs short-pair and ice dance rhythm dance-free dance scores were added to the calculation.

As a result, the Russian Olympic Committee announced that they would receive a bronze medal with 54 points, one point ahead of 4th place Canada (53 points).

The United States, ranked 2nd, rose to 1st place, and Japan, ranked 3rd, rose to 2nd place.

Russia and Canada opposed this content.

However, the content of the backlash is different.

Russia argued that Valieva's doping positive disciplinary action itself was wrong and that Russia should receive a gold medal in the figure skating team event.

Canada also did not accept the ISU's decision.

Russia's total score in the figure skating team event itself was invalidated and Canada appealed, arguing that it should receive a bronze medal.
