got a point...
but i have an idea to fix this "home ice" bias-ness...
why won't they hold competitions in countries in which no skater originates from...such as the philippines...vietnam....south africa....greece....etc?
hahaha
Or make the skaters anonymous during competition. It'd still be easy to identify then ones that's been around for a while, but could be an option for underrated skaters to get the marks they deserve, with less national/fed/coach bias from the judges.
A girl surely can dream, can't she?
