I don't think it's about making the jump look better but being more difficult... Like, someone might think that a toe loop looks much better than a lutz, but you wouldn't give that more score because of that, right? Double arm tano would take care of both factors in my opinion, but then it might be weird actually calling it "'tano" if the single arm variant doesn't do anything.I really think the root of and the only problem that exists regarding tanos is the idea that any of them need required GOE. I'm sorry but isn't it much more reasonable to let the judges decide right then and there if a jump earns the GOE. That way if it becomes excessive in a judges mind they can have the freedom to say enough of that tano busines and award it as they see fit. I simply mean let the judge determine if it actually is helping to make the jump look better. In fact.....I don't even mind if a judge were to exercise such freedom to not award a single GOE point for the best tano ever and instead decided to award it in PCS. I could see how tanos could help or even hurt a program's overall feel. Wouldn't it seem most fair to allow it to be decided on a case by case basis and not by some committee meeting. Just my take though.....take it for what it is.
