A Russian appeal against the decision to strip the country of the figure skating team gold medal at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics was dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Thursday, confirming the U.S. team as the Beijing gold medalists and opening the way for the team to get its medals at the Paris Summer Games. CAS banned teenage figure skater Kamila Valieva in January for four years for doping, effective from December 2021, a decision that also stripped the Russian Olympic Committee of its gold medal in the team event at the 2022 Games. The ROC, the skaters involved in the team event and the country's figure skating federation had appealed that ruling. "The Appellants had sought a ruling from CAS re-ranking the figure skating Team Event and awarding the gold medal to the ROC.
The appeal from the Russian Olympic Committee has been shot down, which means the U.S. team officially keeps the gold from the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics! 
With Kamila Valieva’s doping ban confirmed, the medals are set to be awarded at the Paris Summer Games. It’s a solid win for the U.S. team and a tough break for the ROC.
