IOC President Thomas Bach had welcomed them back to PyeongChang the previous day, when he met the duo at the Gangneung Curling Centre.

The decision to strip the Olympic Athlete from Russia (OAR) pair Alexander Krushelnitsky and Anastasia Bryzgalov of the bronze followed a ruling by the Court of Abritration for Sport (CAS) on 22 February, which confirmed that Krushelnitsky had committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.
