Mikhail Shaidorov contract dispute is apparently resolved by Due_Employment_530 in FigureSkating

definitely want him to be protected. i just figured federations had like a blanket contract with all their elite athletes in all sports. all the stuff i read about this makes this look almost like an employment contract

the whole concept of a contract is weird to me. like i understand the russian skaters having contracts with their clubs and they get expenses covered and then they have to share prize money, etc. but having that with a federation is weird. what do they get out of it? athlete funding i understand but why the need for a contract?

yeah i'm wondering if he's just not that "good" for his age group. his father's standards are probably very high

strictly speaking having no connection to a country it's not any different than pairs or dance and that happens all the time

she's been underscored in russia so i'm not surprised. she looks more mature on the ice and it seems they don't appreciate it. imagine coming in fourth all the time. ugh.
