Italian figure skater Carolina
Kostner said Monday she is eager to hit the ice again at the
Medal Winners Open on January 15 in Osaka, Japan.
"I can't wait," Kostner said.
The Olympic bronze medallist was cleared in October to
restart next year by the Court of Arbitration for Sport
following a 16-month suspension for helping a former boyfriend
evade doping checks.
Kostner reportedly admitted making a mistake when she
helped Olympic race-walking gold medallist Alex Schwazer skirt a
doping test. She has always maintained that she did not know he
was doping.
The Medal Winners Open is an invitational pro-am figure
skating competition organized by the Japan Skating Federation
and sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU).
