Quick Glance: US, Japan figure skaters receive reallocated Beijing medals in Paris ceremony
- After a long wait, American and Japanese figure skaters received their reallocated gold and silver medals from the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics in a ceremonial event in Paris.

- Kamila Valieva, the first woman to achieve a quadruple jump at the Olympics, was allowed to compete in the singles despite the positive doping test, but missed out on an individual medal due to an error-filled free skate that dropped her to fourth place.
- Despite the frustration over the delayed medals ceremony, the figure skaters expressed gratitude that the medals had finally reached the rightful recipients and that the setting - in front of an exuberant audience - made up for the long wait.
