IMO some of the biggest jumps are some of the biggest eyesores and actually diminish a program. Not always though. Sometimes the size of some jumps can enhance the performance. That’s why we need judges there at ice level to measure these things. I don’t think height alone is anything to get too excited over but I’m sure some of the judges get all worked up about it. That’s fine...we all don’t need to value the same things on the same scale.
But shouldn’t we since it’s a sport? Isn’t this ambiguity part of the problem fans seems to get so upset when skaters aren’t scored correctly mainly due to politicking.
No one ever disputes who wins a race so why should I be tech score for skating be different when there are ways (with technology) to accurately assign points for what is performed.
