For those who asked:
Trolling is not acceptable on Golden Skate.
It is OK to passionately like or dislike one skater or another, as long as you do not insult those that disagree with you.
We do not test any opinions for truth or falsity, but we infract for unsourced rumors.
As to the GP Slam, its very rare, because top teams from major countries have to do their own GP (limiting their opportunities), and lower ranked teams don't get to pick where they go, they have to be invited.
Denkova & Staviyski were never invited to do Cup of Russia after they became a threat to win. Third is their highest placing there. They won the other 5 GPS of their time, including Bofrost.
Grishuk and Platov won every GP they had an invitation to, but were never at Skate Canada
Navka & Kostamarov only won 4 of the GPs (missing NHK & Skate America)
Davis & White have 4- they have never competed at Cup of China, and finished 3rd at TEB in 2007
