ISU Technical Committee discusses simplification of skaters’ programs
In particular, there was an idea to reduce the number of compulsory jumps in the free skating program (in single skating) from seven to six, as well as to allow the repetition of one jump three times. Previously it was possible not more than twice.
The number of cascades and combinations is proposed to be reduced from three to two, one rotation is replaced by a choreographed rotation. In pairs it is proposed to reduce the number of supports with levels from three to two, to remove the solo jump.
The next ISU Congress will be held June 10-14 in Las Vegas.
