  • Proposal for Change
    Realizing Figure Skating’s Potential: Proposal for a New Competition Structure and Format! ! !Despite being an Olympic year, participant numbers in figure skating are down; audience ratings are down; revenues (media and sponsorship) are down. In the few steps below we fix these problems, broaden the field of figure skating, and prepare for its future.! !Quickly examine some astute comments, illuminating the problems, on the figure skating events at the 2014 Olympic Games: 1) “The Team Event seemed as if it were nothing more than an event created for television to gain viewers and revenue — it didn’t do anything to broaden the sport or make it more interesting.” 2) “How do you know what the jumps are and how they are judged?” 3) “Why do many of the skaters swing their arms around now? Does it add more points?” 4) “It’s so frantic; I can’t relate to the skaters the way I used to.” 5) “It looks like they threw in some of that new ‘flex dance’ or ‘Cirque du Soleil' on ice”. And 6) “I thought the new judging system was created so that there would be no more judging controversies.”! !To sum up the problems and changes needed (for the sake of simplicity we’ll focus on singles events, but this proposal is intended to address all disciplines, singles, pairs, dance): 1) The audience and skaters want something different in figure skating, similar to the way skiing has evolved into a multitude of different events. 2) The audience wants to be educated, to know exactly: which jump (throw, lift, etc.) is which; what makes a better jump and therefore gets a higher grade; what to look for in the execution of a jump; what the spins are (or pair spins, mohawks, twizzles, etc.) and how they are performed and judged.

    March 20, 2019 Saitama, Japan Alina Zagitova (RUS) leads in exciting Ladies Short Program in Saitama Olympic Champion Alina Zagitova of Russia skated to the lead in an exciting Ladies Short Program as the ISU World Figure Skating Championships continued on Wednesday in Saitama (JPN).

The European silver medalist scored 82.08 points, setting a new seasons best. “The audience really helped me today. It was a good performance, I got a seasons best and I’ll try even harder in the free skating,” the Olympic Champion said. “I didn’t always skate so well in the short program this season, there were some underrotations or other little errors. Here, I skated with joy, I didn’t have to hold back. The audience was great, I love to skate here. After my score I was happy for a moment, but now I’m focusing on the free skating,” the 16-year-old continued. Sakamoto’s program to “Until the Last Moment” included a triple flip-triple toe, a double Axel and triple loop as well as excellent spins and steps. The Japanese Champion posted a seasons best of 76.86 points. “I was pretty upset at the Four Continents, so I trained very hard afterwards. Because of my hard training, which was harder than my training prior to Olympics last year, I gained a lot of confidence in my program, and that helped a lot.
