The 'idea would be to ensure' access to the race in ten countries, selected on the basis of a qualifying criterion that will be agrave &; dall''ISU established. The top six countries in the ranking of the short-term program would gain 'access to the free program.
"We believe that the sync will attract a new audience as well as young, as well as new fans," said Marie Lundmark, a member of the ISU Council, "it is a discipline technically and artistically demanding and can generate interest."
Despite the level of quality & agrave; competition might suffer, the 'ISU seems geared to ensure qualification for the Olympic test to only one team per nation, cos & igrave; as always happens for curling. It goes without s & egrave ;, that in countries such as Finland, the evidence of internal selection will be an event of great value and interest.

Whereas normally, figure skating and short-track race days are divided by a single ice rink, would not be particularly complex ritagliere adequate space.
The real problem, overcome by taking a position and a simple act of will & agrave; IOC & egrave; related to the number of athletes to be hosted at the Olympic Village. It is, however, irrelevant the number of coaches and chaperones.
The 'latest edition of the World Championships will egrave & ;, however, held in Courmayeur with great success.
