And again, this is just a post pondering what figure skating would be like if all skaters were able to work with coaches solely dedicated to them or with a choreographer that really knew how to work the system for them. It's a thread wondering if there is a way for it to be done, and if it could be (even if it is just purely fantasy), what it would be like and how it could change figure skating.
I think this is purely fantasy. There's no way to create a level playing field worldwide in terms of natural talents, access to ice time, access to top-level coaching and choreography, etc.
You might want to go back and look at some of the debates from the 1980s and earlier, when figure skating and other Olympic sports were aggressive in the insistence on strict amateurism, and how state-funded training in some countries gave an advantage over individuals from other countries having to fund their own training without earning money from sport or fame.
Suppose there were a cap on the amount of money that a choreographer could charge to a skater.
There's still no way to regulate the amount of money it would cost each skater to work with that choreographer.
A skater who lives in the same city and trains at the same rink where the choreographer is based would pay the choreographer's fee only.
A skater who lives halfway around the world would have to pay either for the choreographer to fly to her rink and stay in a hotel, or for the skater, maybe plus coach and/or parent, to fly to the choreographer's city and find accommodation there.
All those travel costs can add up to more than whatever the choreographer charges for his time.
