American figure skater Zhou said he was proud to receive Olympic gold taken from Russia
American figure skater Vincent Zhou appreciated on Instagram (the social network is prohibited in the Russian Federation; belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and is banned) receiving gold in the team tournament of the 2022 Olympic Games, which was taken away from the Russian team.
“I am infinitely proud of my team and grateful to the fans, I am honored to become an Olympic gold medalist,” Zhou wrote. He noted that he could not express in words the emotions he experienced after the verdict of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and the International Skating Union (ISU).
On January 30, the ISU redistributed the medals of the Olympic team tournament due to the disqualification and cancellation of the results of Russian Kamila Valieva. The Russian team moved from first to third place, gold went to the USA, silver to Japan.
On January 29, CAS suspended Valieva for four years because her sample tested positive for the banned drug trimetazidine. The period of suspension starts on December 25, 2021.
