Skate Sandee said:Nope. The exclusivity and invitational nature of GP makes it a wholly INVALID path to determine who, in fact, is the greatest skater in any given year. Open events (like Nationals) where every eligible skater - no invitation required - earns the right to try to make it to Worlds is the only true path of measuring success. Who's to say some amazing skating phenom won't come out of Mexico someday? Why, the GP series would prevent such an occurrence by it's very nature of exclusivity. But Worlds would reveal such a phenom.
Sandee, I totally agree (as usual... ) however, you must remember not speak in such a logical fashion during an olympic year... save this insightful remark for next year when people aren't suffering from the OGMitis bug...)
