In fact, he is penalized.

So we got:

- Pascal Dion finishes last in his Semi
- Steven Dubois advances on a penalty in his Semi
- Charles Hamelin gets penalized in his Semi

Trifecta

Canada advances to the Finals in the Women's 3000m Short Track Relay.

They're heavily projected to win a medal.

Dubois with a MASSIVE redemption for Short Track Canada, between Pascal Dion's disappointing 1000m & Kim Boutin's unfortunate fall in the 1000m.

Canada was well on the outside looking in in terms of medal projections for the 1500m.

LET'S GO!!!!!

That means as "an athlete who at the time of the anti-doping rule violation: has not reached the age of sixteen" Valieva cannot officially be identified if she is guilty of an anti-doping violation.
insidethegames understands that several legal teams are currently involved working on the complex case which is expected to stretch into tomorrow before a conclusion is reached.
If Valieva is sanctioned then any penalties are likely to be much less severe than if she was over the age of 16 and the role her entourage played will come under scrutiny.

The Russian Olympic Committee will have to change its name.

If this ends up being true, is anyone really surprised? Being allowed to participate as "ROC" and still getting to use the flag colors on their clothing is basically a slap on the wrist in the grand scheme of things. If they actually handed down some serious punishments then you'd think there'd be less incentive to cheat.

That 1500M short track final was crazy. About 40 skaters it seemed like, Dubois did well to stay near the front the entire time.

I don't really like these different distances in short track. These just go slower at the start. It would be like in track, you had all the same racers in the 100, 200, 400, 800 etc. And they just jogged the first laps.

Really happy for Jacobellis honestly. SHe is the goat of that sport and the way she blew it 16 years ago was kind of poetic in a way. A 20 year old snowboarder showboating in a big race. How in character.

I have very high hopes for Gushue and jones. Happy to see Gushue with a solid start and solidly beating a team they are better than.
