USA Figure Skating Team Receives Gold Medals at Winter Olympics At the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, the USA figure skating team finished second behind the Russian Olympic Committee in the team event, with Japan taking third place. However, due to a doping scandal involving a Russian figure skater, the Court of Arbitration for Sport disqualified the skater and re-ranked the medal positions. As a result, the USA moved up to first place, Japan to second, and the Russian Olympic Committee to third. The team members expressed their joy at finally receiving their medals during a ceremony in Paris.
