In Russia? Of course they will. In the World? I doubt it despite what Kogan boasted about recently (i.e. international calls praising him for the event etc.). In Men's category they could make it even greater than it was in Russia, for sure. In Women's? Sorry - there is nothing to show in jumps there. Well, fans of particular skaters could enjoy it in theory anyway - so what can I know?
And introducing elimination/rivals system and disqueting music during jumps - was all it required to turn otherwise boring event into solid show. Why they couldn't think up something like that when the first Jumps tournaments were introduced, I wonder? That type of event was considered as failure since then for many years..
The ICU (if the ISU were a patient the ICU is where you would send them) would be loathe to take inspiration from the Russian federation. Plus, in women's it would just highlight the complete dearth of jumping talent in ICU skating. Maybe the ICU could have a twizzle competition for the ladies.
