The team event in figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics was held on 4, 6, and 7 February, at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Haidian District of Beijing.
Canadian 2018 Olympic champion Eric Radford returned, but this time he competed with a new partner, Vanessa James.
In 2022, the Russian Olympic Committee entered the team event as the favorite, with the United States, Canada, and Japan also expected to be in medal contention.
[6] Several media outlets reported on Wednesday that the issue was over a positive test, held in December 2021, for trimetazidine by the ROC's Kamila Valieva,[7][8] which was officially confirmed on 11 February.
[9] The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), under suspension from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) since 2015[10] for its years of serving solely to hide the positive doping results of Russian athletes,[11][12] cleared Valieva on 9 February, a day after the December test results were released, two months after the test.
[16] In mid-November, WADA requested that CAS take up the review of the Valieva case with an eye towards a four-year suspension of Valieva, which would exclude her from competition at the next Winter Olympics, and to rescind her first-place performance at the previous Beijing Olympics because, "the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) did not meet a WADA-imposed Nov. 4 deadline to deliver a verdict on Valiyeva's case.
"[17] On 29 January 2024, the CAS disqualified Valieva for four years retroactive to 25 December 2021 for an anti-doping rule violation they found her to have committed.
