I've noticed a significant uptick in singles skaters doing knee slides. I know it is only a requirement in ice dance, but is knee sliding the new "perception rule"? What I mean by that is: it's not technically a rule, but by omitting a certain element from your program (in this case, a knee slide) the perception u give the judges is not a good one. *Example: by omitting a beilmann, you give the perception that you are not flexible and won't receive as much GOE as another girl with a beillman. By omitting a second lutz, you give the perception that you cannot do a lutz on the correct edge. Technically these aren't rules. But the judges still want you to do it.
