He raises some interesting points.
I stopped watching skating in the mid-90's, in part for professional reasons (I was always out of the country during the height of the competition season) and in part because it became a jumping contest amongst 13 year old's. I missed the artistry that comes with age and maturity.
It's gotten a little better with the age restrictions, but I have to admit, I feel like the sport has become acrobatics on ice- who can get their leg into the oddest position- who has the least connective tissue in their spine type of thing.
That's not to say that I'm not going to try to watch every minute I can, but I do miss the type of skating we saw with those skaters with whom we are on a first name basis- Debbi, Katerina, Dorothy, Scott (who is still a hoot and a half to watch!), Robin.....etc. None of them were 15 and very few had a triple axel.
Having said all that, the sport should be able to evolve, and we may not all like the way it does evolve. People will always try to push the boundaries- quads are inevitable. But I wouldn't complain if the pressure to pack the program were eased up, and these guys were allowed a little more leeway, to well, just skate!
