I'm bored by the same moves, steps, turns over and over... hydroblade, ina bauer, cantilever, etc.
Innovation won't happen without reward. If they reward second half execution why not reward creativity and innovative skating moves/jumps?
However, unless it really is special, it doesn't have to become new skating vocabulary....but if it is a stunning move, why not?
More variety and difficulty without injury risk is so much better for skaters in general. They don't have to risk crippling injury to be competitive, but use their special skills and ideas instead to make their programs memorable.
Audience will certainly benefit from having surprises in every program.
I hope that someone somewhere will consider this as it will add so much more to figure skating future, more than using lyrics.
It's also an element that can reward skaters of all Feds, not just those with top class coaches and technicians.
It's a nice idea, but I wonder how it would be scored. I mean, GOEs that have actual defined and very specific rules still get awarded... well, it's not exactly fair. This would be very subjective and basically anyone could justify basically any mark they give. So I fear it would just become subject to reputation judging and all the other problems we currently have with GOE and PCS scoring. Plus there kinda is space for skaters to be creative, in the choreo sequence. Though admittedly, the reward for that is next to nothing, and people get away with having literally a single spread eagle for it, so...
