:thumbsup:"For all figure skating competitions, championships, events and Olympic Winter Games, the judges names and their respective scores will be published," read a proposal submitted by the Norwegian Skating Association.
"If the judging is transparent it will increase the accountability of the judges.
"It will attract the media, sponsors and public in a positive way."
Approval to the proposal was made to rapturous applause during today's closed meeting of the figure skating section of the ISU, insidethegames was told, with just one delegation thought to have opposed the measure.
It is expected to come into force with immediate effect for next season.
