The women's tournament inice hockey at the 2014 Winter Olympics was held inSochi,Russia.
For the first time, the women's gold medal game was decided inovertime, with Canada defeating the United States 3–2. Switzerland defeated Sweden for their first Olympic ice hockey medal in 66 years, and first medal in the women's tournament.[1][2]
With the win, theCanadian women's national ice hockey team won its fourth consecutive gold medal, a feat only previously accomplished by theSoviet Union men's team in 1964–76, and theCanadian men's team in 1920–32. CanadiansHayley Wickenheiser,Jayna Hefford andCaroline Ouellette became the first hockey players to win four Olympic gold medals. They also joined Soviet biathleteAlexander Tikhonov and German speed skaterClaudia Pechstein as the only athletes to win gold medals in four straight Winter Olympics.[3]
On 6 December 2017, nearly four years after the tournament was played, six players from theRussian national team (Inna Dyubanok,Yekaterina Lebedeva,Yekaterina Pashkevich,Anna Shibanova,Yekaterina Smolentseva, andGalina Skiba) were subjected to sanctions, and the team was disqualified by theInternational Olympic Committee (IOC) based on findings from the reanalysis of doping samples collected from Russian athletes at the 2014 Winter Games by theOswald Commission.[4] Ten days later,Tatiana Burina andAnna Shukina were also sanctioned and theInternational Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) was directed to modify results accordingly.[5] All eight of the players were "declared ineligible to be accredited in any capacity for all editions of the Games of the Olympiad and the Olympic Winter Games subsequent to the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014" and "disqualified from the events in which they participated" by the IOC.[6] The players registered their appeals with theCourt of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and, in 2018, five of the eight players (Lebedeva, Pashkevich, Smolentseva, Burina, and Shukina) won their appeals, the sanctions against them were annulled and their results were reinstated.[7] The sanctions againstInna Dyubanok,Anna Shibanova, andGalina Skiba were partially upheld, though the life-ban on Olympic competition was lifted, and the disqualification of the team was maintained on account of their violations.[8][9]
Russia qualified as the host. Canada, the United States, Finland, Switzerland, and Sweden qualified as the top five teams in theIIHF World Ranking. Germany and Japan qualified via the qualification tournament.[10][11]
