Maybe they should move it to Finland.Also the arena was almost empty. Might as well have being a challenger series competition

Cup of Russia this year was very very crowded. I don’t know about the other events.
Russia- the attendence was very good. Moscow is a great skating city.
Canada-the front and back were filled but the side was half filled.
China- that arena is humungous- mediocre SP, but very good crowds for the free skating
Japan- tickets acutally were sold out, but many Japanese fans bought full event tickets but skipped the pairs and dance.
France- like a challenger.
America- its happening over Thanksgiving Long Weekend. So i cant figure out if its going to be good or not.
Grand Prix Final- Always full. All the time
They should just move the current French GP to Spain. The recent events there were attended quite well IIRC.
But other than Javier Fernandez, there are not no Spanish figure skaters that are currently active...
Um. The ground where the Zamboni enters and leaves the rink, is always wet...
And there are always guys at the gate to sweep off the ice/slush that the Zamboni leaves behind, when it raises its "gear" to leave the rink.
The first pic shows the Zambonis are still on the rink, so of course the ice is wet - the fresh surface hasn't frozen yet.
The second picture... doesn't tell us anything because we don't know how long after the resurfacing it was taken. If it's a couple of minutes after Zamboni's left, then it's normal. But if it's 15 minutes later, then yes it's a problem...
I have no idea whether the ice condition was good or bad - I'm just saying we can't tell anything from those photos alone...
They have ice dance teams and other male skaters. Are they the prowess of Javi right now, no. But they aren't nobodies either.
Besides, what does it matter? People are suggesting finland and while I love it and think it could be a probable place they REALLY don't have any Finnish skaters doing much of anything right now. France was the same way for awhile. There is so much more that goes into this process than who are the big skaters from said country.
I would think that in order for you to host big events in any sports, that country has to have somewhat of a decent team in that sport...after all, people pay to come see and cheer on the people of their country, if the country does not send their own people to their own events (or have anyone decent in that sport at all), ticket sales would dramatically go down...but, of course Spain isn't the worst choice, i bet a lot of figure skating fans would pay to go watch Javier Fernandez anyways...
Again. And if history repeats itself, coach fluffy will wear her leather jacket instead of her fluffy mink coat, indicating the rise in temperature.
France lost its former top sponsor because the event organizers never replied to the sponsor's emails ...

Italy would be a great option.
I was surprised at how well attended the event was in China this season
Feel free to host a senior Grand Prix round in Australia, preferably Brisbane as the entertainment centre is up the road from me
