I would rather see Donovan Carrillo than the fourth best American, Japanese or Russian man, although their history of scores may far exceed Donovan's. Luckily, as the format of Worlds is probably never going to change, I will get what I want. As long as Donovan gets those darned minimums:gaah:
Audiences in many countries do love a battler, which is I guess one reason why, among the pantheon of Olympic immortals, there is room for Eddie the Eagle and the Jamaican bobsled team. Not that Donovan or any of the skaters at Worlds are anywhere near their equal
We seem to have gotten off the topic rather a lot, as changing Worlds or Olympic selection has very little to do with whether or not the age for seniors should be raised. And changing Worlds or Olympic selection wouldn't do a thing to prove it good or bad either way, as far as I can see.
