No, because these are, again, only internationals. Skating is bigger than the internationals.
The difference is that before 2002 casual fans trusted that judges were mostly trying to do the right thing and they no longer do and _nothing_ the ISU has done since 2002 has restored fan trust.
This is not my view but something a friend said as a joke
Russia voted for abolition because they worried S.Korea would deny them OGM at 2018.
S.Korea voted for its retention because they want to deny Russia OGM at 2018.

Their hands are too short for that. If Russian ladies dominate the quad no korean dirty tricks will play.
don't count your chickens before they hatch..
Chickens are meant to hatch.What is that supposed to mean?
That would be good to see. Yuna is a pretty lady and she has angelic features, I don't mind seeing her pictures in news about Pyoungchang.One thing I can say for sure is that, Pyoungchang will be covered by Yuna Kim(her interviews, images etc) and all of koreans will treat her as a double gold medalist (based on their reaction and news article, and in my heart she is the double gold medalist) whether you like it or not. That may be their own way of revenge.
I am all against anonimous judging, and deeply dissappointed at KSF's decision. But it is indeed presumptuous to assume that Korean fed will take their vengence by bribing all the judges to prevent Russians to win etc. , using anonymous judging. why, really why will they do that with their own money?
It's becoming hilarious to see some of you guys going too far and conveniently assuming that Korean fed is a villan, and treating them as if somehow they already committed to an evil action even though KSF has not done anything harm to other fed/skaters. In gpf, 4cc in Korea, winners were Japanese, even when Yuna was a heavy favorite. As far as I know, there has been ZERO scandal in Korean soil. And Pyoungchang is in 4 years. NOTHING happened yet.
