US figure skaters to receive 2022 Olympic team gold after Valieva disqualified

• US figure skates to receive gold medals two years after event
• Russia controversially awarded bronze medals over Canada

Members of the US Olympic figure skating team learned late Monday they will receive gold medals now that Russian skater Kamila Valieva has been disqualified for doping at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing.

The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee received word that the IOC would award the gold to the US for the team competition, which was thrown into turmoil after Valieva's positive test from six weeks before the competition was revealed.
