February 27, 20197 yr Heh, I told you so. They choosed media darling. Glorious, Rus fed. Alina bombs her programs so now you will try with Med to get medal? And sorry guys, but since when Rus fed care about tickets in JAPAN. Especially when (I think) most tickets are already sold out.

February 27, 20197 yr I don’t think ticket sales is the biggest source of revenue. TV broadcasting rights and advertising sponsors contribute way more money. Even the worlds is in Japan, Russian stakeholders can still make money through other means besides ticket sales.

"Since when do they care about selling tickets for an event where Yuzuru is going to compete ?" is more correct

February 27, 20197 yr Maybe it’s us fans’ fault that Liza was not chosen. Fed and Media like drama because it can attract fans and bring them money. Now more people will watch ladies’ worlds because they want to know how Med will do. They are prepared to stage a big show for fans, where Med is the absolute star actress. Fans care a lot more about Med than Liza, so choosing Med will please fans.

Sadly figure skating has turned into a popularity contest/reality show/circus, whatever you call it. I find it hard to keep calling it a sport. A world championship in Japan never need Evgenia to sell ticket, especially when their ladies are so strong this year. A japanese sweep is not too far of a reach. Now thats Evgenia goes to wc, I hope she and her team would fix those stsq, especially the SP. Its so messy at RCF
