Travel bans and quarantine for USA, Russia and China would need to be lifted.
China is already lifted, no? The EU lifted it subject to reciprocal treatment. Quarantines are being lifted daily - e.g., the UK announced today that people from countries subject to quarantine will be able to take a test instead of quarantining.
Come on. Stop being deliberately obtuse. A GP is not a small event by any standard.
You are thinking in the past.
Let's do some rough maths, shall we?
Skaters: 12 x men + 12 x ladies + 20 x ice dancers + 20 x pair skaters = 64 skaters
Coaches: more difficult to calculate but even if we assume a certain level of overlap there will probably still be in the region of 25+ coaches.
Judging panels: 4 x 9 judges = 36 judges
Tech panels: 4 x 3 tech panel members = 12 panel members (may be able to be reduced by one or two)
Tech officials: 2 (most data operators/replay operators are accredited for all four disciplines)
Why do we need 12? Why not try 8? Why not dance in one event and pairs in another? And reduce both to 8?
Why do we need 9 judges? Can we make it with 7? And by eliminating pairs or dance we can further reduce the panel. I bet if we're creative we can get 140 down to ~60.
Nobody is saying - at least I'm not - that the GP can or should move ahead exactly as it was.
