This all started with a blurb in Saturday's San Diego Union:
"Only one member of a pair or dance team will need to be a citizen of the country for which it competes under new regulations approved by the International Skating Union."
That was all it said. Given the fact that I was under the impression it's been this way for quite a while (otherwise Tanith & Ben would have been staying home the last 5 years), I'm a little confused. I went on the ISU's website but all I can find is that they have approved "less restrictive citizenship requirements" for pairs and dance. Does anyone have any more info on what the new rules actually are regarding this?
