Ok, I am so completely confused. I had thought that they were structuring the skating events like Gymnastics, where the team competes, but there's also the solo element embedded within.
I managed to watch the last two events- Dance and Ladies, missed part of the ladies because our cable sucks.
At the end, it showed the teams that had qualified.
But, now what do they qualify for? Does this team event thing continue, or does this affect the "normal" competition? I.e. does the French dance team now have to go home? (Ok they're not going to medal, but one of the pair is local, so the people here are a wee bit excited).
I also noticed that Korea wasn't represented, so I'm thinking that this team thing is completely separate, since Yu- Na must be skating in the Ladies competition (or did something happen?). But if it's separate, then what's the point? If it continues, that's a lot of competing for those skaters- many of them are competing in the "normal" events, too. But then maybe it's more fun for them, too.
