As Olympic champions from Beijing's 2022 games, American figure skaters have been waiting for their moment in the sun. Now they are looking for the right pomp and circumstance that goes along with it. Two of the nine Americans who are set to formally take the gold medals off the necks of Russia's necks are urging the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to hold a proper ceremony in Paris for their fellow participants. "We would love to have a true Olympic medal ceremony, and for us, there will be a medal ceremony at the Paris Games this summer,' said ice dancer Madison Chock, referring to the panel's decision during a 30-minute teleconference hosted by the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee.'

Members of the U.S. Olympic figure skating team learned late Monday that Kamila Valieva, a Russian skater, had been disqualified from skating at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, which was disappointing. The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee received word that the IOC would award the gold to the United States for the team competition, which was thrown into disarray after Valieva's encouraging test six weeks before the competition was revealed. The Associated Press obtained a copy of an email sent from the IOC to the USOPC, claiming that it is now in a position to award medals in accordance with the ranking, which must be determined by the International Skating Union - the federation in charge of organizing the Olympics.
