BEIJING—Sport’s highest court on Monday cleared 15-year-old Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva to continue competing in the Beijing Winter Olympics.

However, no Olympic medals will be awarded at the women’s singles event on Thursday if Valieva finishes in the top three, with Games chiefs saying they would only present the prizes once her doping case was resolved.
