You see I much prefer the new skating scoring system to the old. In the old system, the Chinese team that skated first, would not have finished first. The judges would have saved their higher scores in case they liked a skater better in the later performances.
The current system takes a lot of the judges indivuality away-each element is rated by a technical specialist who does not score the routine. I agree that the current system takes away too much individuality and creativity, but I would rather them to be more fairly judged on their elements then leaving it to the judges opinions and biases on their expression and creativity.
The one thing they need to do is to open up the music choices much more like they do in the free program for ice dancers. Right now they are choosing the same music over and over again because the judges like that music, and I'm getting real bored with it. You get to use music with vocals in the free dance, and I find that to be much more interesting than I used to.
