My husband was watching the NHK Trophy on t.v.with me today. Out of the blue he says, "Is skating declining?" Pretending to not understand what his point was I asked why he said that. "Because everyone is falling all over the place." (The women in the LP). To the average viewer, skating appears to be declining because of all the falls. Because this system gives points even when you fall, it has become a splat fest. Wake up ISU or you will lose even more viewers (notice the emptier stands anyone?).
