For this thread only - 'Discontinue team event at the Olympics' is not an option.
The goal here is to improve, rather than eliminate.
Here are a few that come to my mind.
1. Put team event after All the individual events are over. The reason for this is that we will not see a handful of athletes having opportunities to practice their programs to the Olympic ice.
It could either give them advantage over others or it may exhaust them. If the individual events are first, everyone will have the same starting point.
It will avoid possible injuries before the individual events.
2.Allow substitutions in all four disciplines. I know it gives advantage to big countries over small ones.
3. Change the scoring system. Use actual scores in SP and LP. Add them up.
4. No eliminations. Allow all 10 countries to skate both SP and LP.
5. Announce skaters for SP and LP before the TE starts. Changes are allowed only in emergency - sickness or injury, with certificates from doctors who are neutral.
6. Schedule exhibitions/gala after the TE is over.
Thats all I can think of.
