Great video, and very interesting history about skating!
All I know is that figure skating was a lot more entertaining and exciting before it got strangled by IJS, at least in my opinion. It's so bogged down in calculations that it muddles most people. They just change the rules too much! The numbers don't even really mean anything - which made me snort about Patrick Chan's 3 'guinness records'. When a sport is based on subjective scoring, how can the numbers relate to anything outside that one competition, especially when the rules about scoring get changed every time anyone at ISU sneezes...
