I did not say that.
There is a number of distinguished international competitions. Currently one of them is imposed by IOC to invalidate any other achivements in any other competitions. It is a kind of monopoly. If all international competitions are equal, then current problem, buy the strongest card to name youself as the Absolute Greatest, will be solved.
Thank you for the explanation. I agree with this. No need to mention any particular skater, but is winning an Olympic gold medal the only thing that counts? Is Katarina Witt (two Olympic gold medals) better than Michelle Kwan (five world championships)? I look at it this way: We will have another Olympic gold medalist in four years no matter what. How long will we have to wait to see another five-time world champion? (Unless Mao wins the next two years. )
But that's up to us, to decide who we think is the greatest. We don't have to cancel the Olympics to carry on the discussion.
