2022 Olympic FS Team Event medal ceremony moved to Paris August 7th

[Jammers]

From a update from Christine Brennan on x.com apparently the US and Japanese team will get their medals on August 7 in Paris if nothing else goes wrong. Will this finally be the day? https://x.com/cbrennansports/status/1798761360031207914

Just read the post above. This is not about legal rights but athletes and coaches abiding by wada's Code. And that's why they are suggesting they would like stricter rules. If the rules pass, then those would be the rules to follow. But would they be able to appeal to a human rights court? I...

Could they just give them their gold and silver medals and leave the bronze for another day when all is done and figured out?

That seemeed to takea decade to fix.

Handing out gold and silver to States and Japan bypasses the conversation about and with Russia altogether, so I can see why, but then again, why Paris would want this ball at all instead of kicking it down the road to 2026? Winter sports is not their business strictly speaking. Let the Winter Olympics sort out its own messes.
