Plushenko on quads BV: nonsense

Then shouldn't the triples drop by a similar amount? The bulk of the proposed BV decreases are with the quads. BV for 3F isn't decreased at all. A better solution would be to have a separate BV for men and women, and have the BV for men's jumps decrease by 10% across the board.I'm ok with the decrease of BV for quads, since so many can do them, they can be classed as 'less difficult' elements than they were before, like they do every few years in gymnastics. It hasn't hurt the rush towards new and harder elements in gymnastics so I think it will also work in figure skating.
Sure.
About all the casual fans I've met do not care for FS as art, they care for FS as a sport.
So to increase popularity, make it actually a sport. ISU should remove the PCs scores at all.
Why? First, they are not objective and will never be. This is always where people complain about underscoring/overscoring.
Also, removing PCs overall, would leave scoring faster.
Ok, now we all know your are a old school person that can't accept figure skating is no longer like it was when you were young.
Nice! :sarcasm:
you know, it is ironic because ¨young¨ fans can´t accept this new proposal, but you are still here, so you accepted many changes in 40 years.
not all changes are good or smart you know

Horrible idea. The point of skating is to combine athletism and artristry not to have two seperate categories. I can already see everyone calling artistic gold the fake gold. It makes everything so confusing imo as well. Would this be only for seniors or intermediate and above? You can't only think about elite skaters when implecating rules like this. I just dont like it....and im all for artistry but quads are HARD. Quads should be rewarded. Does the ISU not realize this, i'm confused.
You know - it was a sport when they were only doing doubles. It was a sport when they were doing triples. Why all of a sudden is it only a "sport" if they're doing quads? There WILL be injuries. There have already been injuries. I'm sorry but Nathen Chen and Boyang are not artistic. I also don't think Hanyu has been deserving of the high PCS he's received. I've been watching figure skating for over 40 years and I do not, unpopularly I'm sure, like the trend that seems to be happening. There needs to be a balance. There currently isn't a balance. Any sport that is judged by humans is going to have its faults. We have many faults now. There is NO consistency and I don't see the IFS or the USFSA or any of the country's federations coming up with anything to change that. Sad.
Well, the ISU brought it on itself when they brought in the points system. This was going to happen.
A point that i want to raise is the value of the Short Program. I think one of the motivations for having 2 equal length events of techncial and artistic is because in recent years, interest in the short program has decreased. These days, unless its a sports channel, or a tv network in the nation of the event, they would only, for most of the time, only show the long program.
Thoughts?
