Medalists
Men's singles } Garmisch-Partenkirchen Men's special figures Men's special figures was only included in one Olympic Games before being discontinued. The sole winner of the event was Russian Nikolai Panin, who gave his country its first ever Olympic gold medal. Women's singles } Garmisch-Partenkirchen Pairs At the 1964 Olympics, Marika Kilius and Hans-Jürgen Bäumler of Germany, Debbi Wilkes and Guy Revell of Canada, and Vivian Joseph and Ronald Joseph of the United States placed second, third, and fourth, respectively. Two years later, Kilius and Bäumler's results were invalidated because the pair had signed a professional contract before the Olympics. The silver medals were re-allocated to Wilkes and Revell and the bronze medals to Joseph and Joseph. However, in 1987, the German team was re-awarded their silver medals after an appeal. In November 2014, the International Olympic Committee clarified that both the German and Canadian teams were the silver medalists, and the U.S. team were the bronze medalists. At the 2002 Winter Olympics, a controversy involving allegations of vote swapping and buying of votes of the French judge culminated in the judge's scores being discarded and Jamie Salé and David Pelletier of Canada, who had originally finished second, being awarded gold medals, with Elena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze of Russia, who originally finished first, being allowed to keep theirs. An arrangement had allegedly been concocted whereby the French judge, Marie-Reine Le Gougne, was to award the gold medal to the Russian pairs team, while the Russian ice dance judge was to award the gold medal to the French ice dance team. In April 2002, the International Skating Union (ISU) announced that Marie-Reine Le Gougne and Didier Gailhaguet, president of the French Federation of Ice Sports, had both been suspended for three years for their roles in the scandal and also prohibited from any official involvement with the 2006 Winter Olympics. Several media outlets reported that the issue was over a positive test from December 2021 that showed the presence of trimetazidine in a sample given by Kamila Valieva from the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), which was officially confirmed on February 11. The Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA), under suspension from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) since 2015 for its years of serving solely to hide the positive doping results of Russian athletes, cleared Valieva on February 9, a day after the December test results were released and two months after the test. The IOC, WADA, and the ISU appealed the RUSADA's decision. On February 14, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruled that Valieva be allowed to compete in the individual women's event, on grounds that preventing her from competing "would cause her irreparable harm in the circumstances", though her gold medal in the team event was still under consideration. The favorable decision from the Court was made in part due to her age, as minor athletes were subject to different rules than adult athletes. The IOC announced that the medal ceremony would not take place until the investigation was over and there was a concrete decision of whether to strip Russia of their medals. On January 29, 2024, the CAS disqualified Valieva for four years retroactive to 25 December 2021 for the positive test for trimetazidine, which they ruled constituted an anti-doping rule violation. On 30 January 2024, the ISU, among other actions, subtracted Valieva's points from Russia's score without changing any other scores, and re-allocated the medals in the figure skating team event, upgrading the United States and Japan to gold and silver, respectively, while downgrading Russia to bronze. The American and Japanese teams ultimately received their medals at a ceremony which took place on 7 August 2024 at the Jardins du Trocadéro during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. ==Skaters who won multiple Olympic medals==
