The ISU is now considering to introduce a mandatory costume for all competitors. The reason for this is believed to be that they want the judges, and the audience, to focus more on the athletes talents and not their appearances.
How these costumes will look is not known at the moment...
And of course, this is fake news. ISU, to my knowledge, are NOT doing this.
But what do you all think? Are costumes important? For me (and you guys who know me, know this), I couldn't care less about the costumes. The only times I react is when someone has something really UGLY on. But I can't help laughing at times when we see comments like "oh, she has such a beautiful dress", "oh, he is so handsome in that suit" etc...
Do some people really only watch figure skating because of the costumes??
