I see no reason to lengthen the time of the SP.
can they:
1. do a jump combo
2. do steps into a jump
3. do an axel jump
4. do a flying spin
5. do a combo spin
6. do a change foot spin ( I actually think that mens and ladies SP should be the same! what's so great about a layback?)
7. do a footwork sequence
8. do a spiral footwork sequence (to me this is different from doing just another fws, men should do it too)
?
What else is there? All the LP does is repeat elements. Don't get me wrong, I think the LP is needed to stress the presentation side more, but I don't think that there is any element that is missing from the SP the needs to be done to judge if a skater qualifies or not. It's also nice to see who can do all of the jumps in the LP, but I don't think that's necessary for the SP.
One last rant, OT of course, but I think that the ladies LP should be the same time length as the mens.
