This I feel is the best result all round as the pressure is take off the people of Japan to host at such a difficult time but all skaters, including the Japanese, have a chance to compete and show unity with their colleagues from around the world.
The event will be hosted in the Megasport Arena, which seats 12,000 people. Moscow was selected out of a choice of 6 cities, the others being Vancouver; Lake Placid, Colorado Springs; Turku, Finland; Graz, Austria; and Zagreb, Croatia.
I wonder how easy it will be for those fans who had planned to make the trip to Tokyo to attend the event in Moscow at a month's notice. Hopefully this event will become memorable for all the right reasons, despite the sad circumstances for it's postponement.
Yesterday it was reported on Twitter that France (the nominated hosts of the 2012 worlds) have offered the chance to host to the Japanese.
