... Does the USOC give performance bonuses too? How much ? This week could really help the skaters with funding for next year.
It never seems fair to me that pair/dance partners get less money after it's split. Especially those poor pairs girls who are doing such risky things every day. And only the top 8 pairs get anything at all?

Yeah :scowl: It's even worse in GP series because couples receive excatly same amount as single skaters, so when it's split for two it's only half of the amount.... There are some senior B's though, where prize money is twice as much for Pairs/ID teams as single skaters
I wonder how some of the skaters can afford to stay in the sport, especially the older skaters? Even national level training takes so much time and funding. I am glad they get some compensation for big events and their national team stipend.
