we have seen a couple judges (tech panel) applying the rules strictly this year... that never happened much before... I have a feeling that perhaps it's not as simple as who is behind the computer but maybe could it be about ISU directives to the judging panels? "please make sure we watch for complete rotation, we do not want any problem like in sochi so let's get the skaters properly evaluated and judged now... " or something like that... Amano was a judge before... wasn't he? Why would he be suddenly so strict? I never heard of him before as being a carrot cultivator.
I think it's great that the ladies are getting this kind of feedback now. It could lead to overall improvement of skating in general. As long as the treatment is fair, I have no issues with carrots being given out like candy.
