He says that numerous skaters have emailed him saying that they wouldn't be able to attend Worlds in April/May, and he recognizes that the summer is the skaters' offseason/time to prep for next season. Of course this is all about the JSF and how pissed they will be if Worlds is somewhere else this year, and I actually understand how Cinquanta could be in a real limbo over trying to please everyone. Ultimately, JSF needs to just accept that they can host Worlds in the near future and that this year, it's just not going to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-47839666801826371052011-03-18T09:46:53.089-07:002011-03-18T09:46:53.089-07:00I think it's hysterical Ottavio favors avoidin...I think it's hysterical Ottavio favors avoiding exhibition conflicts more than uhm, every one of the practical issues inherent in the appalling October plan.
