The American figure skating team was exposed to scandal! The claim for a silver medal for the group was unsuccessful and is now another defendant. Although the Beijing Winter Olympics have come to an end, but the American figure skating team has not yet won the silver medal in the team competition, although the American team asked the International Olympic Committee for a silver medal in the team competition, but was rejected by the International Olympic Committee, after which the American team also made a request to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport, and also entrusted a lawyer to issue medals according to the Olympic Charter, but still failed to get the silver medal.
Because Russia's 15-year-old figure skating star Vallieva is deeply involved in the doping storm, the International Olympic Committee decided not to award medals in the figure skating team event until the matter fails to produce results, which caused dissatisfaction among the American team, because in their view, if they cannot get on the podium in Beijing to receive medals, then it will not be meaningful to collect medals in other places in the future. However, the IOC still refused the request of the American team, insisting that the medals could only be distributed after the results of the investigation into the doping incident in Vallieva were released, but the IOC, in order to appease the American team that won the silver medal and the Japanese team that won the bronze medal, decided to present the Olympic torch passed to the American team and the Japanese team, and also sent the ice piers to the winning athletes, in which the Japanese team expressed its understanding of the IOC's decision, but the American team did not buy it, and also hired a lawyer to appeal to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport. The IOC was asked to award medals, but the U.S. team's request was rejected by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Surprisingly, the American team not only did not get the silver medal in the team competition, but now it has become a "defendant", and the background music used by the American figure skating group Alexa Nereem/Brandon Fraser in the competition was not authorized by the creator, which is equivalent to saying that the American team took the music created by others as the background music of the competition without authorization, which has been infringed, so the author directly sued the American Figure Skating Association and the National Broadcasting Corporation in court for compensation.
I have to say that the reversal came too suddenly, one second the U.S. team was still asking the IOC to issue a silver medal, the next second it was sued by others, if it was replaced by other teams may not mention the silver medal, after all, it is too embarrassing, but the U.S. team still asked to get the silver medal, it really does not stop at all, well, now to compensate for the losses of others.
