Four appeals have been filed at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in relation to the doping case of Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva, further delaying the awarding of medals from the 2022 Beijing Olympics. The appeals, three from Russia and one from Canada, challenge the International Skating Union's decision to amend the result of the team event following Valieva's disqualification.
