Well, then I hope the mismanagement doesn't affect the athletes' mental health more than anything else...But the rights of any international travel and attending any competitions are still decided and controlled by CFSA.

(P/J and W/H WD from IdF, and Hongyi WD from Italy)Hey, are there any rumours about whether we'll see the skaters compete outside China at all? W/L withdrawing from NHK is very worrying, and I don't know about the restrictions around Beijing.
Comments from the press conference from InTheLoop:Does anyone know why Peng and Jin withdrawn from Internationaux de France?
So are they expecting these skaters to compete in 5 competition between now and January because obviously that would gain you the most points. This would be ridiculous way to exhaust the skaters just 2 months before the olympics. Also is this done behind closed doors and we wont be able to watch any of the competitions. In a way, it makes sense to have the top contenders face off multiple times before choosing just so we arent basing the selection on a single Nationals competition where someone could have an off day and someone can have a great skate but then fluke out on the olympics.As for man/woman's spot, there will be internal competitions to be held from Dec 16th 21'~Jan 22nd 22'. There will be 3 selection trials, 5 competitions in total for the whole selection process:
Trial 1: Dec 16~18 (Competition 1)
Trial 2: Dec 30~Jan 1st (Competitions 2 & 3)
Trial 3: Jan 20~Jan 22 (Competitions 4 & 5)
Participants will get cumulative points via each competition, in which one lowest score will be excluded, and the final ranking will be based on the total (cumulative) points.
