Today’s CAS ruling puts all Sochi results and purported Sochi results and updates into chaos.
Here is what the original medal standings looked like at the end of the Sochi Olympics (top 5 places only).

22-Dec-17,USA,9,7,12,28,1,3

22-Dec-17,NED,8,7,9,24,4,5
22-Dec-17,RUS,9,3,8,20,5,4
[/table]
After today’s ruling by CAS, at least 9 of the 13 Russian medals will likely be restored. The following should be restored:
[table]
Class,Sport,Year,Event,Place
M,RUS,CCS,2014,50K,1
M,RUS,SKE,2014,Skeleton,1
M,RUS,CCS,2014,4x10relay,2
M,RUS,CCS,2014,50K,2
M,RUS,CCS,2014,Team Sprint,2

F,RUS,SSK,2014,500,2
F,RUS,SKE,2014,Skeleton,3
[/table]
Four medals DQs have not yet changed. The 2-man bobsled gold medal will remain disqualified as both Aleksandr Zubkov and Aleksey Voyevoda’s DQs were upheld, although their lifelong Olympic bans were reversed. The women’s biathlon relay silver remains removed, as does the women’s biathlon 7.5 km silver, as Olga Zaytseva and Olga Vilukhina have not had their appeals heard yet. The 4-man bobsled gold medal is in no man’s land. Zubkov and Voyevoda were part of that gold medal sled, and were disqualified, but the other two pushers, Dmitry Trunenkov and Aleksey Negodaylo, were both exonerated.
With the CAS rulings, 9 medals – 2 golds, 6 silvers, and 1 bronze – will be restored to the Russians from Sochi. This makes the current top of the medal standings for Sochi look like the following:
[table]
Current,NOC,G,S,B,TM,USRnk,EuRnk
1-Feb-18,RUS,11,9,9,29,1,1
1-Feb-18,USA,9,7,12,28,2,4
1-Feb-18,NOR,11,5,10,26,3,2
1-Feb-18,CAN,10,10,5,25,4,3
1-Feb-18,NED,8,7,9,24,5,5
[/table]
By either the US system (medals-gold-silver-bronze) or the International / European system (gold-silver-bronze) of medal rankings, the Russian team returns to the top of the medal standings in Sochi.
