Whether the GP can take place or not is up in the air, it may be cancelled.
I just, selfishly, can't bear the thought of losing our 4CC. We waited so long, twenty years after France stole our last Championship event, it would be devastating if this stole our next Championship event.

Ahem. Not all of skating is big-country skaters.
Was it "shady as hell" when Katia and Harley were going back and forth, because Australia had no other pair? What of the Olympic season? They were cut out of the GP by trashy politics from the big countries and so were forced to go back to JGP - but under your rule, they would not have been allowed, and been forced into limbo, in the most important season of all? Should smaller countries constantly lose spots on the JGP because their only eligible skater skated in Seniors one time?

i have a solution for you ISU, cancel this stupid thing, we're holding our own skating awards on the site, if you want we can dress up for the occasion
anyway it's too soon as for now to make plans for the fall, anything can or can't change, many countries in the world are working on a vaccine, the earlier test i know of will start at the end of this month in Great Britain
Excellent idea, I think we totally need to consider the results of our awards here the official ones.
i shoud have a cocktail dress somewhere
No reason not to wear it. I mean, who said that default home attire must be jeans? Heh. The skating award show daily!
Jeans? Well, how la-di-da. I thought pjs and sweatpants were the attire du jour!

I have mixed feelings. I don't think it would suck all the oxygen out of the room if the World Championship featured Trusova, Shcherbakova, Kostornaia AND Zagitova, Medvedeva and Tuktamysheva. I, for one, would watch.
Me too.
I don't car on nationality.
Dealing with federations and passport, while ignoring individual skaters is the original sins.
As I said there is an ocean bewteen "representing Russia" and "from Russia".
In the first case you introduce the skaters is an emanation of a "political" entity that could decide to leave him/her home even if he/she's the best in the world.
In the second case the skater represent himself along with everybody that helped him become a top skaters (trainers, family and federation that suppliend infrastractures and programs to help his developement)
I care of skaters, not flags
