He is one of the very few active skaters, who can jump a true quad Lutz, which now gets devaluated and he doesn't have 4Lo or 4F in his arsenal to to compensate the punishment. I'm pretty sure that in the future only die hard traditionalists will bother to learn a proper Lutz technique. The majority will go with the new excessively pre-rotated version. There is absolutely no motivation to learn the difficult Lutz technique anymore. The soul of Alois Lutz must be sobbing very hard now, wherever he is. Boyang has had a 4Lo before, so maybe he'll bring it back? It was a good one in practice... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I'm interested in is that Japanese program that can count rotations, if only they can show it at some comp fro Japanese TV at least Yes, he seems open to the introduction of technology for measurable bullets & Co, such as number of rotations. Is he really so? Will ISU (particularly, some federations) accept such a move towards impartiality? Because, with all my love for some Russian Ladies, i agree by no means to not calling faults. Judging have to be fair and follow the rules. And we can bet there will be much less chronic problems unadressed. (Not the use of doing the same jumps underrotated during a growth spurt, I have nothing against, it just has to be scored correctly.) This opening alone fuels my wildest hopes. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe we'll see measurable technology applying in judging any time soon, it'll be too much of a revolution for them and harder to cut out non-favorites. But will be fun to see it on TV at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that in the end the result looks less bad. Nah, it sounds like "Shut up finally!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkleSalad Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Anyway 2020-21 season is highly unlikely at this point so everyone get ready for ISU to implement these new rules during Olympic season (and crown the winners before the tickets are even sold.)

GP series is impossible with travel restrictions, 14 day quarantine rules, and severely reduced flights, 4CC Sydney is 99.99% not happening unless another country puts its hand up to take it, so that leaves only Euros and WC (unless another country wants to deal with 4CC) but would that be fair to non European skaters? Idk. I think Nationals are the only likely competitions to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australia's borders are closed until "at least December" and after that probably will only open to New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, they won't get URs anymore, which diminished the BV, but they will get 'q', with BV staying the same. The pre-rotation thing will be used arbitrarily by the judges, to lower GOE for those they don't like, not for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
