How curious. I didn't know you could get funding even if you decided not to participate in any competition next season. I thought it was only for active athletes.
You are active until you retire! Every season this issue comes up! Domnina and shabalin 2010-2011, plushenko 2010-2011 and 2014-2015. Lipnitskaya! Probably every one! Slutskaya 2006-2007 maybe!
