From Russia With Love (#36) Spring into Summer 2020

[rfisher]

I agree, fans don't care where the skater is from, they just care how good the skater is!

That depends on the competition. Pretty much all the people I know who watch skating at the Olympics or might catch an NBC viewing of a GP or World event, ONLY care about the US skaters or other US athletes. Same for most of the Korean skaters it would seem. I get the "why aren't you cheering for X instead of Y" all the time. While people who are obsessed enough to post on a figure skating related message board don't care, a lot of people apparently do. Especially, those that go to the Olympic events. I don't doubt there is a strong East-West division still in Russia.

ETA a quick question for @Ka3sha:

I remembered that ISU extended upper age limits for juniors this year, but checked it and apparently it is related only to ice dancers.

I missed this... can you provide a link for me please?
