It's strange to think of changing a rule just to disadvantage someone in particular:sarcasm:
Really? I assure you, the Zayak rule was not made to advantage Elaine Zayak.
True, it wasn't meant to advantage her. But I don't think it necessarily follows that it was meant to disadvantage her.
I thought the Zayak rule was created because putting 3 or 4 of the same jump in a program is easier, and therefore is an advantage to skaters who do so. As opposed to skaters who train a bigger variety of jumps to place in a like program, such as a free skate. Since training a variety of different jumps is more time- and energy- (mental and physical) consuming than training just one jump. Not to mention it's harder when performing that variety of jumps in competition.
I think the rule change was made to bring the playing field to be more fair. So I agree with maya1985. Same with Katarina Witt.
P/C deserve to win if they skate the best!
Absolutely. :dance2:
