Guys, remember when after Vancouver the ISU allowed the 3A in the SP for the Ladies and people thought that basically that Mao Asada would end up winning everything because she was the only lady who landed it? We all know what happened.
Honestly, I don't dispute that ISU federation members try to lobby for the rules in favor of their skaters, but the so-called "Mao Asada rule" with the 3A in the SP didn't really play out for Mao as many predicted.
In other words, let's see how the rules play out. Perhaps what we're expecting will happen, but I won't be surprising if there comes some odd winners out of these rule changes.
This is a very stress free way to look at things
