Unless, the skater is blind like the girl in Ice Castles, I don't really think it is dangerous.
But won't the skaters who get less applause feel under appreciated? Should applause then be monitored too?
As long as the flowers are wrapped, I don't see it as a problem. I like the tradition of throwing gifts to the skaters - it shows them that the audience really appreciated their performance. Unless, the skater is blind like the girl in Ice Castles, I don't really think it is dangerous. Just make sure the ice is cleared off thoroughly before each skater, and that's that.
Well we can be sure that will never be the case, LOL.
I think I saw this movie and the girl goes blind and then hooks up with a hockey player and well "toe pick". Hmm I wonder if there are any teams like that now competing?
