Team USA Skaters React to Earning Olympic Gold Medals 2 Years Post-Scandal


Team USA’s Olympic figure skating team has been awarded gold medals from the 2022 competition after Russian athlete Kamila Valieva was disqualified for doping

However, the medal ceremony was canceled after news broke that ROC’s wunderkind skater Kamila Valieva, then 15, had tested positive for doping. A hearing earlier this week ultimately disqualified Valieva’s scores after her use of illegal substances, meaning that Team USA would get the gold. Ice dancers Chock and Bates, 34, who recently won their fifth U.S. championship earlier this month, appeared on Today alongside Knierim, Frazier, 31, and two-time gold medalist Nathan, 24.
