CAS Dismisses ROC Appeal in 2022 Olympic Team Event Case; Canadian Appeal Pending

CAS Media Release

Lausanne, 25 July 2024 – The CAS Panel in charge of the appeals filed by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) (CAS 2024/A/10355), the Figure Skating Federation of Russia (CAS 2024/A/10360), and Russian skaters Aleksandr Galliamov, Nikita Katsalapov, Mark Kondratiuk, Anastasia Mishina, Victoria Sinitsina and Kamila Valieva (CAS 2024/A/10356) (collectively, the Appellants) against the re-ranking decision announced by the International Skating Union (ISU) on 30 January 2024 (the Challenged Decision) in relation to the final standings for the Team Event in figure skating at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 has issued its decision: the appeals are dismissed. The Appellants had sought a ruling from CAS re-ranking the figure skating Team Event and awarding the gold medal to the ROC. Following the hearing that took place on 12 June 2024, the Panel deliberated and concluded that the results of Ms Valieva in the Olympic Figure Skating Team Event were correctly disqualified in the Challenged Decision, and that the ROC Skating Team could not be awarded the gold medal. Consequently, the above-mentioned appeals are dismissed. The Panel issued the Operative Part of the Arbitral Award. The full award, with the grounds for the Panel’s decision, will be issued as soon as possible. The second CAS Panel, different from the first, constituted to resolve the related, but separate, appeal (CAS 2024/A/10354) filed by Canadian skaters Madeline Schizas, Piper Gilles, Paul Poirier, Kirsten Moore-Towers, Michael Marinaro, Eric Radford, Vanessa James and Roman Sadovsky, together with, Skate Canada and the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) (collectively, the Canadian Appellants), held a hearing at the CAS headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland on 22 July 2024. The Canadian Appellants also seek a ruling from CAS re-ranking the figure skating Team Event, as follows: United States of America (Gold); Japan (Silver); Canada (Bronze). The second CAS Panel is now deliberating. It is not possible to indicate at this time when the second Panel’s decision will be issued.

Following the CAS decision on ROC’s appeal, the IOC stated that they would work with the ISU and US/Japanese Olympic Committees to hold a medal ceremony at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

IOC STATEMENT ON CAS DECISION: This decision comes just in time to still be able to make the medal allocation for gold and silver possible during the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The IOC will now work with the @ISU_Figure, USOPC and the JOC to bring the athletes to Paris in order to hold the ceremony here in the Champions Park based on the amended results from the ISU. We are glad that this opportunity can be offered to the athletes and teams who, unfortunately, had to wait for a very long time for their medals due to the ongoing legal case.

Christine Brennan of USA Today Sports reports that the medal ceremony is planned for August 7, although this is yet to be confirmed with the IOC.

I have mixed feelings about Papadakis and Cizeron potentially coming back, but it's obvious they wouldn't be facing the level of competition they had with Virtue/Moir or even Sinitsina/Katsalapov and Hubbell/Donohue. It just makes sense for them to come back.

[anewbeginningagain]

Do you know what’s weird for me? I find that with skaters that are a couple in real life, there’s zero chemistry on the ice…. Like, to me, both C/B and FB/S are the furthest thing from sexy and hot you could find… I really don’t see it, I don’t see the passion, I don’t see anything, I can’t help it, no matter how good looking they are. I get that Tessa and Scott were a once in a lifetime team, but like, even without being together, just one look between them would make you feel like you were intruding, or that they were about to jump each other. I never found that with any other team. I agree with the anon that says that FB/S are very vanilla, that’s the best way to describe them I think Lol you can be good looking and still not be sexy and hot, and that’s them Lol

Oh, I 100% agree. Chock/Bates, Guignard/Fabbri, Sinitsina/Katsalapov, legit zero percent of sexual chemistry. Candanes have a decent amount but way less than I would want them to have. Stepanova/Bukin had chemistry and are also a team notorious for not being a couple LOL.

Tessa and Scott are a one-in-a-lifetime occurrence for me at least, they are the only team I can think of that managed to make people go "are they dating??????" after a 3-minute dance routine in three different Olympic games, three different types of music, and in completely different ages... They legit had more chemistry standing next to each other doing a stupid interview than any other team has while skating. Tessa and Scott managed to convey more emotions in a stills image than any other team during complete programs. It's truly wild and not something I expect to see again. But that alone wouldn't have been enough if they weren't as good as they actually were, they had the insane chemistry but also the receipts to back it up...

But to go back to the topic, I don't think Canadanes are vanilla, C/B, S/K, G/F are vanilla af, Weaver/Poje were vanilla af, Canadanes are better than that, just not close to where I wish they were.

Turkkila/Versluis - Grand Prix Espoo 22 - Free Dance - FIN

Elements:

OFS 3+2 (very solid) | SLL 3 (?? This was beautiful) Twizzles 3+3 (just some slight bobbles for both of them on the exits of the last 2 Twizzles) | Choreo Jump + 2.28| StaLi 4+ RoLi 4(tv but stunning, +4 goe) | MiSt 2+3 (and close to 3+3!!) | Spin 3 | ChSt +2.21 (wish it was longer)| Choreo Lift +3.15 (really lovely!!)

Program: Four Impromptus , Piano Sonata 20 (Schubert)

I appreciate how understated and soft this program is and how well it works with their individual style. This feels like a genuine and unforced version of what Sinitsina/Katsalapov tried and failed to do year after year. They have such a refreshing quality to their skating that I just love <3

I would give them honestly an 8.75 in Composition because this was great. (Edit after looking at the protocols, they got an 8.64! Which is .5 higher than any other category of theirs. I feel vindicated and I’m glad the judges agree 😤)

I know I said it last event, but I love this dress and color on Juulia 💜 and I don’t think I noticed the details in Matthias’ tunic before, but I do really enjoy the cut and how the navy compliments Juulia

Also, what a great showing Finland had in Mens and Ice Dance 💜 (and both Jenni and Janna had one STUNNING program) they should be so proud as a host nation!! 🥺

Score: 116.73 (!!!), 191.79 into 1st — AND their first Grand Prix medal!! 🥉 which is Finland’s first in Ice Dance, and the first GP medal since 2012!

what a way to cap off The Grand Prix of Figure Skating Espoo 💜 🇫🇮 💜

Aux JO de Pékin, Papadakis et Cizeron décrochent une médaille d'or

Les deux patineurs ont réalisé le meilleur record du monde dans la discipline avec 226.98 points. C’est la 11e médaille remportée par les équipes françaises.  C’était le titre qui manquait à leur palmarès. Ils l’ont désormais décroché aux JO de Pékin. Gabriella Papadakis et Guillaume Cizeron ont remporté lundi 14 février la médaille d’or en patinage artistique au Jeux Olympiques de Pékin. Ainsi, le duo français a devancé les Russes Victoria Sinitsina et Nikita Katsalapov (220,51 points) ainsi que les Américains Madison Hubbel et Zachary Donohue (218,02 points).  A lire également : Le patinage, sorte star de l'hiver "C'est un symbole de tout ce qu'on a traversé pendant ces quatre années" pour Papadakis Cette victoire s'ajoute à leur palmarès déjà impressionnant : quatre fois champion du monde et cinq fois champions d'Europe. Dans le programme libre, Gabriella Papadakis et Guillaume Cizeron ont exécuté “un tango entre la vie et la mort” très apprécié par les critiques. Les favoris ont donc battu leur propre record de 37 centièmes de points aux JO de Pékin. « Cette médaille d’or avait beaucoup de poids, beaucoup plus qu’il y a quatre ans », a réagi la patineuse de 26 ans à la suite de sa victoire. Elle poursuit : « C'est le symbole de tout ce qu'on a traversé pendant ces quatre années, du travail qu'on a effectué, de toute notre carrière. C'est hallucinant le poids de cette médaille aujourd'hui ». En effet, cette victoire est une consécration pour le duo qui patine ensemble depuis maintenant 17 ans. Un triomphe d’autant plus savoureux compte-tenu de la déception ressentie en 2018.  En effet, lors des précédents JO d’hiver en 2018, les Français affichaient leur déception à la seconde place. Ils avaient été pénalisés car le tour de cou de Gabriella Papadakis s’était décroché laissant apparaître sa poitrine. Papadakis avait qualifié cette séquence de “cauchemar’. Par ailleurs, le duo avait précisé en conférence de presse de ne pas évoquer ce moment pour les JO actuels.  Read the full article

because i have to stop and watch every time this comes up on my tl - Kana Muramoto & Daisuke Takahashi RD at 2021 NHK Trophy

LaLa have made amazing progress in 2 seasons😳🥺 they're so much sharper and faster and skate more as one now

Hurtado/Khaliavin trained with Sinitsina/Katsalapov, and here's the Spanish judge giving S/K +5 on their somewhat wonky twizzles and 10's in PCS 👀

i'm not an S/K fan by any means, but they skate bigger than C/B and he's a better skater even with his messed up back - i never saw S/K skate live, but i don't think C/B have changed so much in the last 2 seasons? but the top teams now don't make C/B look small by comparison the way they look here, or the way they would look side by side vs H/D. makes me more curious to see G/F live

[ad_1] Simply six months after the flame was once doused in Tokyo, the Olympics get underway again on Feb. 4 in Beijing (and 50 miles north in Yanqing and 100 miles north of that during Zhangjiakou).Right here’s a have a look at each and every game that will probably be contested on the Video games in China.• • • • • • • • • • •11 gold medals awardedAlpine SnowboardingMikaela Shiffrin, who received a gold medal in 2014 and 2018, will go for a third, or perhaps extra. She remains to be on the most sensible of her recreation, and in November she tied the career record for Global Cup wins in one self-discipline, slalom. Petra Vlhova of Slovakia and Lara Intestine-Behrami and Michelle Gisin of Switzerland will probably be challengers as smartly.Within the males’s occasions, Alexis Pinturault of France has a silver and two bronzes on the Video games, however will probably be in search of gold No. 1 because the reigning Global Cup general champion.The disciplines come with downhill, the quickest tournament; super-G, with extra turns added; massive slalom, nonetheless extra turns; and slalom, the slowest and maximum technical tournament. There may be a blended tournament (downhill and slalom) and a mixed-gender staff slalom tournament.• • • • • • • • • • •11 goldsBiathlonTake the staying power take a look at of cross-country snowboarding and shake it up each and every few kilometers by way of having athletes prevent to shoot rifles at objectives. Too many misses, and skiers must take a penalty lap. Germany, France, Sweden and Norway will have to dominate the medals.Becoming a member of the four-man, two-man and two-woman occasions is a race for only one: ladies’s monobob. The primary global champion was once topped this 12 months: Kaillie Humphries, a two-time Olympic gold medalist for Canada now representing america. However Humphries is still awaiting U.S. citizenship to compete in Beijing.Humphries may be the arena champion within the two-woman bob, with Lolo Jones as her pusher.• • • • • • • • • • • •12 GoldsMove-Nation SnowboardingNorway dominates this game, however america claimed its first gold medal in 2018 when Jessie Diggins and Kikkan Randall won the sprint relay. Diggins will probably be again in 2022. The respected Norwegian Marit Bjorgen has retired from Olympic festival after profitable 8 gold medals over 3 Video games.For plenty of American citizens, who appear to include the granite rocks and brooms of curling each and every 4 years, a spotlight of the 2018 Video games was once the U.S. males, led by way of John Shuster, streaking to the gold medal after a quite shaky 5-4 get started. The Swedish males and Swiss ladies had been probably the most a success since then, and Canada is at all times a contender.The deep Russian staff swept the highest 3 spots within the ladies’s festival on the final global championships, with now 17-year-old Anna Shcherbakova on most sensible.The American Nathan Chen skated a horrible brief program four years ago that knocked him out of competition. However he won his third straight gold medal on the worlds this 12 months, and a possible duel with Yuzuru Hanyu of Japan, the 2014 and 2018 Olympic champion, generally is a spotlight of the Video games.Within the pairs tournament, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong may convey the gold to the host country. In ice dance, Victoria Sinitsina and Nikita Katsalapov of Russia are the arena champions.• • • • • • • • • • • • •13 goldsFreestyle SnowboardingThere are six disciplines. Within the aerials and the brand new large air tournament, skiers launch themselves off a ramp and carry out flips and spins. In halfpipe, they carry out in a U-shaped bowl, and in slopestyle, they ski down a path with rails and jumps. In moguls, they ski over a bumpy path and are judged on turns, jumps and pace.The one tournament this is timed as an alternative of judged is ski pass, wherein skiers race in opposition to one every other in teams of 4.Canada received 4 gold medals on the final Video games; no different country had a couple of.

That staff is led by way of the moguls famous person Mikael Kingsbury, the protecting Olympic champion.After lacking out in 2018, N.H.L. players will be back on the Video games, assuring a star-laden box. America (Patrick Kane and Auston Matthews), Canada (Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid) and Sweden (Nicklas Backstrom and Victor Hedman) might be the most powerful groups on paper.China can be taking part within the males’s tournament, in spite of concerns that the team is not nearly good enough to be aggressive.Within the ladies’s tournament, Canada and america have received all six gold medals because the game was once added, and 5 of the six silvers. Finland, Russia and possibly Switzerland are prone to vie for the bronze.• • • •4 goldsLugeGermans have received 34 of 48 gold medals on this game over time, together with seven of the final 8.In case you'll’t take into accout, luge is the feet-first sledding race; skeleton is headfirst.To win in Nordic blended, athletes should be nice at two very other occasions: cross-country snowboarding and ski leaping. After years of Norwegian domination, Germany received all 3 gold medals on the final Video games.Nordic blended is the only Olympic sport without a women’s event, however that can trade in 2026.And right here’s the headfirst sledding tournament. America does a lot better right here, profitable 3 of the 12 golds awarded up to now. (The American citizens have by no means received luge gold.) Germany, Austria and Russia are the international locations to observe this 12 months.This can be a game that beats athletes up, because of the G-forces and vibrations damn the sledders.Males leap in “standard hill” and “huge hill” competitions, whilst feminine jumpers, who joined the Video games handiest in 2018, are restricted to standard hill. There may be a mixed-gender staff festival being added this 12 months.Some have stated that the highest of the ski leaping tower, the place athletes wait sooner than the exhilarating travel down, is the quietest spot at the Games.• • • • • • • • • • •11 goldsSkiingA number of of the occasions are the similar as in freestyle snowboarding: large air, halfpipe, slopestyle and snowboard pass (relatively than ski pass). There may be a head-to-head massive slalom festival.Some of the stars of the 2018 festival, the American halfpipe gold medalist Chloe Kim, will probably be again to shield her identify, with an look on “The Masked Singer” underneath her belt. The 3-time gold medalist Shaun White plans to be again as smartly at age 35.• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •23 goldsSpeedskatingLengthy-track speedskating, wherein athletes in most cases race two at a time in opposition to the clock, is ruled by way of the Dutch. They received seven of 14 gold medals in 2018 and 8 of 12 in 2014. America, at the back of the arena champions Joey Mantia and Brittany Bowe, will probably be in search of a primary gold medal since 2010.Short-track, with more than one skaters racing, and on occasion colliding, over a good path, supplied China with its handiest gold of the 2018 Video games. South Korea can be a big contender. Regardless that america alternatives up medals right here and there, it has no longer received a gold since Apolo Ohno did in 2006 and 2002.

Rostelecom Entry #5

Short dance

Sinitsina/Katsalapov(RUS)

Thoughts: I think in their earlier years, I used to get them confused with Bobrova/Soloviev. Anyway, I think I’m starting to see it. The vibes Nikita gives off. Something’s not right about him. Victoria, blink twice if you’re being held against your will.

Pairs Short program

Kadirova/Balchenko(RUS)

Thoughts: the red matches well against Ivan’s skintone

Lu/Mitrofanov(USA)

Thoughts: Audrey’s outfit. I didn’t like that it was shorts on the bottom. But I liked the colors. She’s cute.

Chtchetinina/Magyar(HUN)

Thoughts: death spiral was well done. Yulia, her big eyes. The way she tilts her head. She’s so pretty.

Pavliuchenko/Khodykin(RUS)

Thoughts: these two make me smile. So so much. The way they use Daria’s size to come up with all these unique moves. That crazy awesome twist exit. Since the suspension, I have missed them so much.

Can you believe it's almost been a year since the Olympics?

I truly truly can't, the 2022 Olympics will go down as mostly a bizarre experience for me. PyeongChang was such an Olympics of celebration for me, and Beijing had some great moments but overall between Covid and Russian (and China if we are being honest) it will always be laced with mixed feelings.

What I truly can't believe is some of the Olympic medalists we have. I'm truly not trying to hate on the Russians or anything like that (there are Russian skaters I love), but to think Sinitsina/Katsalapov are the silver medalists is crazy -going back and watching their performances I would have had them 5th and had P/C, HD, and C/B on the podium, and G/F ahead of them. Their programs was so simple and bad, their skating was sloppy, they had nice edges but their upper bodies had no elegance. Same goes for having Shcherbakova as Olympic gold medalist - her skating skills, her jumps, her technique - they are all so horrible that it's truly a mark on the sport that she is the Olympic champion. Trusova too was not deserving of the silver, with all the respect for her quads, her basic skills are so bad, her program was empty and in fair worlds her PCS would have been +5/+6 at best. Kaori was truly robbed, as well as Wakaba.

So much of the results of Beijing kind of feel like the judges (and media to some extent) tried to gaslight into thinking the results were deserving...
