if you want the sport to draw an audience you just need american skaters to win. the loss of the "casual" audience is only happening in the US. in japan popularity of the sport is bigger than ever
I don't remember the European venues packing them in during events held there the last few years (other than major events like Euros or Worlds). It's not just a North American problem.
And heaven bless the Japanese fans. They even know how to clap to a variety of rhythms. You can't buy that kind of professionalism.
