The US Figure Skating team will receive a gold medal for its 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic performance, after Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva was handed a four-year ban over a long-running doping controversy, but Canada has been left “extremely disappointed” after not being awarded the bronze.

Valieva, now 17, had led the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) to first place in the team event ahead of the US and Japan — before her doping test came back positive for performance-enhancing substance trimetazidine.
