That is why they do it. Now I know you probably dont consider figure skating a sport but it it the pure love of what they do. If they didnt skate for another country they would never get that "shot". They would never advance.

That 15 y/o skated well beyond her years and maturity. I believe she desreves to advance in the sport she loves. This is the only way that would happen.

It's just like car racing either you "buy" a ride to get the chance. OR you are such a remarkable driver that you get discovered. Problem is, there are more remarkable drivers than the sport supports. They are out there, the furture jeff gordons, kyle busches...they just dont have the wallet.
