France should get the gp confiscated from them. They and Korea are really competing hard for worst skating fed.

I am soooo sad for Ryom and Kim. I hope they will come back next year with new programs.
They should let Finland have it. Their medals were plastic (I think but correct me if I'm wrong) but at least they were well designed plastic.
It’s money though isn’t it? As F1 learned you can’t alienate your biggest market and France still loves Skating just that little bit more than other countries.
What did Korea do?
People complained about Finland too, NHK seems like the only one that really puts money into their competition.

I'm french and figure skating is not very popular here. The skating rink of Grenoble was small and wasn't filled at all.
I don't even understand why they are organizing the event in Grenoble. This is for many people the worst city in France and I don't even exaggerate.

KSU did a lot of things... topic:
- ditched Viktor An, already an olympic and world champ, when he got injured. It's why he switched to Russia.
- had a scandal with a short track skater abuse a junior skater.
- approximately 10000 useless domestic comps, madatory for even skaters with GPs
- judging scandal in a domestic comp
The list goes on, really, so if people could please stop crediting the fed for Korea's rise in figure skating, thanks.

Whilst I have not been particularly impressed with Grenoble, the event itself has been hugely full of spirit! There are many more people than last year, and everyone is being a supportive crowd.
The hot drinks are very well priced, as were the tickets!

Devastated for Ryom/Kim, but what a moment for Tarah and Danny.
Overall I'm still Team B/K, but today was not their day. Aleksandra had been having a tough time in practices. May they rise at Russian Nationals!
Ladies "medal" ceremony is hard to watch.
I'll give credit to Yuna for forging the path and inspiring a generation of skaters instead.
