got the 2 quotas because a skater can't get more than 16 points in the free skating even if they finish lower than that. With the other one being in the 12th position, Switzerland got exactly 28 points needed to qualify 2 skaters via the World Championships. -
My theory is that there were not enough ice rinks for all figure skaters and ice hockey players in USSR, so only those who had a bigger chance for medals could properly train. Since there were good pairs and dancers (and ice hockey teams), why bother about women? -

Women's Quotas: 3 quotas: 2 quotas: 1 quota: are able to send another skater to the final qualifier. One quota from these world championships will be reallocated to the final qualifier because Switzerland wasn't able to fulfill the requirements for two skaters. -

well, there is no perfect solution, sometimes nobody can score in a Greco match and someone has to win. they could leave it to the referees to decide who is more "active" but we had this before, that usually means corruption and double standards and lots of protests, another option was having overtime until somebody scores but that could mean endless matches which I still prefer but I understand why UWW doesn't want that. as I said this is not perfect but at least with this new change nobody will be passive intentionally. in Paris we had some matches where both guys wanted to be passive and that was really ugly. -

yes,very good relations,we consider them our brothers/sisters,Latvia especially,no there's no historical issues,there couldn't really be any anyway ,Latvia and estonia really only appeared on the world maps after the first world war,while we been present since as early as the 1000. -

And generally Lithuania has good relations with these other Baltic countries: Latvia and Estonia? Or do you also have some historical issues? -

hiliarously in modern times it was poland who we had a war with for our capital and yeah i would not call that a ''missunderstanding'' it was THE SOVIETS who gave it back to us[obviously they were in our land afterwards and they were just using us but still it's what happened] again i have no hatred for poles but some of them,especially their football fans who arrive here are insuffarable,i certainly won't bother talking anyone out of their hatred for them if they have such a thing,that's their right to do so,i don't think it's a big part of the population anyway,we have a significant polish political party so it's hardly a big issue here.
