This is obviously BS, but it also demonstrates just how bad the scoring system for the team event is (and it really should change).

Fixed it :p

And show must go on.

russians filed 3(!) appeals to CAS (from ROC, national skating federation and all the team mebers including Valieva).

 

Their demand: ROC team must be awarded with gold medals... including Kamila Valieva.

I wonder what they are smoking in Russia

What they are smoking is that they say ISU Rules only allow for a DQ of a team if you test positive at that competition, not testing positive from 7-8 weeks earlier.

That is a pretty hilarious loophole if true.

Okay, but there'd still be a glaring issue if they win that appeal. ROC still technically fielded then an "ineligible" athlete, as Valieva's doping infringement is backdated to December 25, 2021. To quote the statement released by CAS after the ruling:

 

Quote
  • All competitive results of Ms Valieva from 25 December 2021 are disqualified, with all the resulting consequences (including forfeiture of any titles, awards, medals, profits, prizes, and appearance money).
