been observing and enjoying skating for decades, but not clear about how many competitions are mandatory for amateur skaters to qualify for olympics, or other major competitions?
for example: will kwan be able to compete in very few competitions a year (like seemingly her strategy for this season) and still qualify for 2006? doesn't this give skaters an unfair advantage because they can stay fresher and under wraps while others are on the battleground, so to speak, more frequently seen and are therefore under more constant scrutiny, pressure etc?
