Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.
The featured article for Sunday, 24 May 2026, is Figure skating at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Team event.
The figure skating team event at the 2022 Winter Olympics was held between 4 and 7 February at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China. The team event consisted of competitions in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters and teams earned points based on their placements in each event, and the medalists were determined based on the total points earned. The team representing the Russian Olympic Committee originally finished in first place, while the team from the United States finished second, and the Japanese team finished third. However, when it was revealed that a positive test confirming the presence of a banned substance was received from a sample submitted by Kamila Valieva of Russia, the medal ceremony was postponed. After nearly two years of litigation, Valieva's scores were stricken and the newly tabulated results placed the American team first, the Japanese team second, and the Russian team third. The American and Japanese teams finally received their medals at a ceremony held at the Jardins du Trocadéro in Paris during the 2024 Summer Olympics.
