It was truly a cheerful moment for Team USA. Also, their excitement was proved in their post “Olympic gold medalist,” @karebearsk8. However, the victory of TeamUSA turned out more profoundly because of the controversy surrounding Russian skater Kamila Valieva. Her disqualification due to doping violations has sent shockwaves through the figure skating community. The recognition, a historic first for American Olympic figure skating teams, comes after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) disqualified Valieva’s performances and banned her participation until 2025.
