I think I once read that this is because at one point too many teams indulged in excessive "death scenes" and spent more time lying on the ice than they did skatingbut I don't know if that's true or even if I remember that correctly
Katarina Witt anyone?
That's how I remember it. I thought they said dying on the ice is banned, not lying on the ice. Same thing I guess.
I don't know for a fact what the reasoning was. But I think it was more about not wanting to give credit for dramatic gestures that don't use skating skills, specifically for the time spent not using skating skills, than for dramatic gestures at all.
So it's fine to have a death scene in your free dance (or other program) as long as your blades remain on the ice.
But it's not OK to roll around on the ice during your program or even as an end pose, regardless of program theme.
Maybe they were afraid that the next trend would involve something like "Sleeping Beauty" and figured they needed to be preciseThat's how I remember it. I thought they said dying on the ice is banned, not lying on the ice. Same thing I guess.

Oh my goodness! Fun afternoon to read the Pemchenko and Iron lotus in a tread! They are kind of similar!:rofl2:Super cool. I love it tbh. But very obvious why it was banned. Is it still possible to use it, but as like some form of choreography?
The Iron Lotus?
haha! You made me want to watch it again... so I will

Wouldn't we have missed out on T/D's Bolero if these rules had been in place 30 years ago? That would have been a crying shame.

I think this move looks cool and it should be used in ice shows.

If this ever happens, they should call Armin Mahbanoozadeh. He's has big, pretty jumps. He's like 2Ft Tall, and weighs about 100 pounds. He'd be perfect as the throwee... Is that a word. I don't want to call him the girl.

That is kind of mean - lest we forget who really started it all Brian Orser then Kurt, Elvis, Jeffrey I guess and Parick. Really great skaters and arguably Brian or Elvis in particular deserved a gold for their performances. Life is about timing - how many times was the world champ going into an Olympic year a Canadian man? So many.

I wrote Brian Orser later on. Damn. don't overreact. and follow the thread
My first post, was a sarcastic joke.
Then MrRice talked about Patrick.
In haste I referred to Kurt and Elvis... I do remember Brian but I was not aware of the "Canadian Curse" until later in life
when gkelly mentioned Brian, of course I agreed.
As I said, Patrick for me, still has a tiny chance... So I remain hopeful.
Jeffrey : he did well enough. 2006 was a crazy tough field for him. Getting bronze was spectacular. What a great comeback. He then went on to win the WC and retired. He was never the gold medal hopeful like the other 4 were.
At least the other guys got medals, I feel the most sad for Kurt who missed his chance twice despite being WC 4 times... Leaving empty handed must have been really hard.
Nope... not mean... sarcastic but not mean. I am Canadian, proud to be, proud of our figure skating stars and their achievements.
