Do you think the ISU is correcr in assigning an additional event for skaters/teams who have already been assigned to two?
I feel very upset about this knocking out Vise/Trent of a medal not to mention the possibility of making the Finals, and now the possibility of McLauglin/ Brubaker, Langois/Hay, and Volosozhar/Morozov
I wrote the following in the GP Final folder:
I do not agree with this type of running a competition. If a skater or team withdraws from an event, the place should be left vacant. In the case of Pairs,.if there is a loss of interest among skaters, then so be it. Anyway, this giving the elite skater such a huge advantage of dumping on 2nd tier skaters is not going to get more young skaters interested in Pairs.
Does anyone know factually what the ISU rationale is for this?
