What if a figure skating team event had been held at past Winter Olympic Games? An analysis of a hypothetical competition
A new figure skating competition was introduced at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games (WOG) - the team event. The introduction of this new competition raises questions of what would have happened if a team event had been contested in past WOG. This paper develops a method for determining which teams might have earned medals if the team event had been held in the past, and applies the method to a hypothetical competition for 2010. This paper also identifies relative contributions of skaters to their countries` teams in the hypothetical competition. These methods can be useful for fans and for electors who vote on candidates for figure skating halls of fame.
