i would like to see them included in the short program....a spin could be replaced by a figure of choice, skated on the rhythm of the music... it could be quit a challenge choreographically but could also be quite interesting.. I am sure talented choreo, skaters and coaches could make something fun happen. Of course, as ONE element of the program, it wouldn't make a figures specialist WIN the SP... but it would, because of its mandatory aspect, improve th skating skills of everyone in general through training figures
