Top Sentence: Have you noticed that the sport in the US has declined dramatically. The spectators go home puzzled.CoP is more than just math, it doesn't help if the said person doesn't actually understand and is able, for instance, to catch UR when watching.
Anyone who claims CoP is responsible for the decline of this sport - please explain to me why has it been so difficult to get an Olympic ticket to any of the figure skating events, even the Compulsory Dance?
BottomSentence: There is a ritual in going to the Olys. One has choices on what to see. Standing out watching the Biathlon and the Downhill Races is frought with freezing and sometimes snowy weather. So, hey guys, let's get a ticket to the figure skating event where we can get in doors and bull#@$%, have a few beers and there are lots of ladies in that arena. Figure Skating and Ice Hockey keep you warm.
Now Worlds is another matter. I can agree with you on this but with that convoluted scoring system it's not worth learning for most spectators and hence if you've seen one FS event, you've seen em all. Been there, done that, leave confused, why more?
