Winter Olympics live updates: Russian Kamila Valieva cleared to compete; USA's Mikaela Shiffrin back for downhill

The off-ice drama has finally ended, and attention can now turn to the start of the women's figure skating competition at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has been cleared to compete in the short program after a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. A test that Valieva took two months ago was flagged for a banned heart medication, but CAS ruled that the 15-year-old Valieva, a “protected athlete” because of her age, can compete.
