______________________________________________________________________
I apologize in advance if I made some mistakes in cross-comparing the lists.
There are some typos in ISU document anyway.
Jason Dungjen (USA) is listed as both ISU and International Pair Technical Specialist. He has either ISU or International status.
The updated file corrected the issue: he has been demoted to International status.
Some famous (and infamous) names are (some would say finally) gone.
Error 404 - International Skating Union
The International Skating Union is the international sport federation administering Ice Skating sports throughout the world.
