Sorry but I disagree. There are many deserving big fed skaters, it's true, but it would be unfair and negligent to take away spots from small fed skaters. Allowing skaters from these smaller feds to compete fosters a more global appreciation of skating and helps those skaters and their countries' programs improve! Javier Fernandez was 35th at his first Worlds and yet went on to win twice. It does the whole of skating a disservice to restrict spots the way you suggest. And allowing the Russian and Japanese ladies to fight for their spots also fosters great competition and pushes the sport higher.
