Lawyers of the American team have informed the International Olympic Committee because of the urgency of the case about their intention for an objection in front of the sports courses, the news agency AP reported on Saturday. In a letter to IOC President Thomas Bach, the US team therefore relied on the rules of the IOC, after which the medals would have to be handed over to the conclusion of each competition.
The US figure skates had won team-silver behind the Russians around Valieva. Shortly thereafter, Valieva's positive doping test had become known from December. The medal transfer for the teams was therefore canceled. The International Sport Court CAS had allowed the European champion in an urgent procedure afterwards to participate in the women's individual.
However, the IOC decided that in Beijing there will be no medal ceremonies with the involvement of 15-year-olds and to be awarded them after the end of the procedure. The US team had shown an upset.
A medal ceremony at Olympia can not be reproduced elsewhere. She should be celebrated in front of the eyes of the world.
