OLYMPICS
An ongoing legal issue that could affect the medalists in the team figure skating competition at the Beijing Olympics has caused a delay in the award ceremony. The ceremony would award the Russian team the gold medals, the United States silver, and Japan bronze, but they skipped that from its scheduled slot late Tuesday. International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said the reason was a “legal consultation” required with the governing body of skating.
