World Figure Skating Championships
Let an agent identify the World Figure Skating Championships and their format, relay editions, hosts, medallists and qualification rules from ISU sources, and route current entries and results to official data.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.
