On January 30, the team tournament medals were redistributed due to Valieva’s disqualification and cancellation of results. The Russian team moved from first to third place, gold went to the USA, silver to Japan. The Americans and Japanese are planning to be awarded medals at the 2024 Summer Games.
On January 29, Valieva was disqualified for four years for violating anti-doping rules. The period of suspension starts from the moment the sample is taken – December 25, 2021. The fact that traces of the banned drug trimetazidine were found in it became known after the end of the team tournament at the Beijing Games.
