I don't know what thread to put this in so I thought I'd start my own.
This is by far in my memory (a very short one albeit) one of the most withdrawal filled GPF ever.
It must be really disappointing for skaters to withdraw and they must be really ill/injured to withdraw with the prize money on the line and I guess for pairs and dance it is dangerous for the other partner.
If it was food poisoning from an ISU dinner that caused all the withdrawals I'm sure the ISU will try their best to make sure that it doesn't happen again but no matter how careful one can be it doesn't take much especially in a foreign country to get sick from the food.
Well congrat's to all the medalists. It was a very exciting build up to the finals. I hope everyone recovers soon and to all the skaters who did not skate that well I hope you will do better next time.
