BEIJING : Japanese Olympic Committee chef de mission Hidehito Ito said he had no information about the postponed medal ceremony for the figure skating teams competition, but hoped to eventually celebrate with his athletes.
"But if we can't attend a medal ceremony... and the medals are sent to Japan, we hope to arrange an event where we can commemorate our athletes," he added. The ROC won gold, the United States claimed silver, and Japan took bronze, but the ceremony will only take place once the doping case is resolved. That can take weeks or months.
"I think all we can do is wait," Ito said, saying it was up to the IOC and other relevant authorities to decide on what would happen.
