Does the ISU actually want skaters to keep skating with bloody noses? Do they like the idea of seeing skaters spinning with blood dripping on their face staining their costumes and the ice? Because when they give such harsh deductions from a nose bleed, I can't help but feel like they are saying that they would rather the skater keep spinning and jumping getting blood everywhere then having the audacity to want to put some tissue up their nose. One of these days they are going to get a stubborn kid (like i was) who refuses to voluntarily stop and just turns the ice into a horror movie scene.
To me stopping bleeding is as much a courtesy to those around you and that have to skate after you as it is for the benefit of the person bleeding. I don't see the benefit of punishing the skater for basically doing the polite thing.
I agree. There are special cases like this one where an interruption is in the best interest of the competition as a whole. And I think a five point deduction is such a hard punishment that the skater must have some serious mistake to deserve it. A nosebleed certainly doesn't count as such.
