Question about Gran Prix competition places. There are two in North America, two in Asia and two in Europe. So, one in Canada and one in USA - every time in different cities, am I right? One in Japan and one in China. And one in France and one in Russia. Why are the European GP's always in France and in Russia? As a Finn a would be very happy if there were a GP in Finland. Finlandia Trophy is nowadays part of the CS but why it couldn't be a GP competition? It's very famous competition in Finland, there are lots of audience and the organisation works professionally.
And if not in Finland, why not somewhere else? Italy? Sweden? Germany?
This is an Excellent question. As most of you know, I was in Finland in 1999 when Maria Butryskaya Won Her World Championship. There are a ton of things to do in Hesinki. We sang at a place called Linnanmaki. It was an Amusement Park and we had a great time. There are great Cafe's and delicious food everywhere. A huge selling factor IMO, was that almost everyone in Finland spoke English. Unlike the US, where very few natives speak another language. I remember hearing English, French, and Russian when I was in Finland.
This doesn't really matter. However, the people in Finland are Gorgeous!!!
