  • 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.

Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte (ITA) win Short Dance Anna Cappellini/Luca Lanotte of Italy won the Short Dance. Defending champions Gabriella Papadakis/Guillaume Cizeron of France came second and Russia’s Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitri Soloviev follow in third place. Dancing to Waltz and Polka from “The Merry Widow”, Cappellini/Lanotte picked up a level four for the twizzles, the first part of the Ravensburg Waltz pattern, the step sequence and the rotational lift. The 2014 European Champions posted a new season’s best with 72.31 points. “We tried to improve the short dance a lot. We have made a lot of changes especially in the second half of the dance. We think that it has already paid off but since essentially the whole second part is completely different, it’s not as well trained as the rest of it. Sometimes it has been better than today but we are positive and optimistic for the World Championships”, Cappellini told the post-event press conference. Papadakis/Cizeron’s dance to “Charms” by Abel Korzeniowski featured four level-four elements including the two sections of the Ravensburger.
