Olympics vs national competitions
The Olympic Games are a specific international multi-sport event, distinct from national championships or pro tours. Many U.S. families attend national events but do not attend the Olympics. For figure skating, the pathway to the Olympics includes National Championships and the U.S. Championships, where family commonly appears. Attendance at these events is not equivalent to being at the Olympics.
