No two skiers from one nation have ever shared the Olympic podium in the women’s halfpipe. But when Cassie Sharpe and Rachael Karker of Team Canada won silver and bronze at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 on Friday (18 February), they were focusing on the moment, not on history.
Great Britain were Friday stripped of their silver medal in the men's 4x100 metres relay at last year's Tokyo Olympics after CJ Ujah was found to have committed a doping violation. Ujah tested positive for the prohibited substances ostarine and S-23, commonly used to build muscle, after the race on August 6. The British team just lost out to Italy for the gold medal in Japan. Canada are expected to be awarded silver, with China promoted to the bronze-medal position. A statement from the Court of Arbitration for Sport's anti-doping division said: "Ujah is sanctioned with the disqualification of his results in the 4x100m sprint relay final... together with the forfeiture of any medals, diplomas, points and prizes."
