If you are talking about the change from figures to no figures, you have a very good point! IIRC, figures used to be 2/3 of the total score. Major adjustment there. And I bet they all took off on the correct edge for their double lutzes. Oh, well. . .
It wasn't quite that dramatic but it was quick, probably more rapidly than it should have been:
In 1988 figures = 30 %
in 1989-90 = 20 %
in 1991 = 0 %
And some skaters good at figures did flutz (dagmar lurz) but it wasn't as common as now.
