New ISU rules for the upcoming season

It does drop on the ice. Maybe never the entire blade but the majority of the blade physically touches the ice. I know this as I used to floop, and I could see the ice mark where the blade touches the ice (its actually visible on the ice).
Full blade happens. Or at least "blade assisted".

In a lot of examples I've seen bashed as being "full blade" the blade is not actually on the ice, it merely drops... because they are rotating on the toe-pick and using the lower part of the blade (which is not illegal), however a lot of the times it looks like it's on the ice.
 
ISU keeps changing rules more frequently and drastically after Pyeongchang as if they are trying to get results they want. I'm losing interests especially in singles. Numbers for base values and GOE are 100% arbitrary with no scientific basis. Same competitions could give completely different results depending on scoring settings. Lysacek would never have won gold with his 3A that almost looked like 3S in Vancouver if the prerotation rule for next season had been applied.

Sounds right on the intentions. :thumbsup:

The upper part of blade is still a blade assist.
It's very hard to prerotate a lot without blade assistance. If you freeze the screen /screenshot exactly at the quater mark on any severe prerotate (aliev, mroz) then you will at least half the blade on the ice. Sometimes more. Same with shoma uno.

Trust me, I've seen the ice Mark's where you see the toe pick then see the scratch of the blade vs a pure pick.

:shrug:

Again, dropping the blade close to the ice and rotating on toe pick with blade close to the ice doesn't constitute using the blade or taking off the blade with the blade on the ice. I've slow motioned Aliev's lutz, and that's what he does.

Who decided it was illegal? Who decided 180 degrees PR was illegal?

But the top 1/3 of his blade actually touches the ice. Look at his toepick at the quater. The top part of his toepick is off the ice but his bottom part isnt. That's the biggest giveaway for blade assist.

I'm not even on the topic of prerotation- but essentially less is better and should get higher goe. I'm not going to argue the degrees where it becomes bad, but I do think boyang jin lutz should get a lot more than aliev
 
Edit: I would also like to point out how wild 4Lo is, basically for ALL male skaters trying it. None of men have a very stable 4Lo because if you mistime the take off there is no saving it.

That is very interesting. I always assumed that it would be the toe-pick jumps where timing would be the more delicate. It seems like timing the pick-in with rotation of the upper body would require great precision with no wiggle room for error. (?)

It’s to do with all sorts of stuff, the tilt, the push from the bend and the landing foot being the take off foot and everything else that makes the loop a pesky little bugger to time. Plenty of skaters train double or triple loops by putting a single in front of them for timing them. They need that perfect swish to get up properly. You also can’t really cheat it because it already rotates on the ice so it’s very tricky to even get the rotations you need in if you don’t get it all perfect.
 
ACTUAL loop takes off one leg. Using floopz technique does not effectively turn the lutz into loop beacuse they take off both legs. So it's like loop but from two legs.

All jumps take off from one leg, though. :scratch2: After all, it's not like you push yourself off your skating leg on toe jumps, you just travel across the ice on it and then use the picking leg to vault yourself up, so the upwards force comes entirely from that picking leg.

Also, by your logic, Salchow would be considered more difficult as Flip and Lutz as well, since it's also an edge jump that takes of 'purely' from one leg (going by your definition of 'one leg').


For what it's worth, when I first checked out the base values for the different jumps (ranging from singles to quads), I always assumed the order was based on the amount of rotation each jump has in the air. The more rotation has to be completed in the air, the higher the BV of a jump.

Single Toe and Sal by the very nature of their take-offs usually end up having about 180° in the air, it can be more, depending on your technique. Flip and Lutz ideally would have closer to 360° (Lutz having even higher BV because of the added difficulty of its counter-rotation). The Loop is kinda in-between, since its take-off is somewhat pre-rotated similar to the Sal, but less so.
All of this was just based on my observations of these jumps and also my own experience when learning them.

Of course, that was before I saw people pre-rotate their Flips and Lutzes by so much, that they pretty much contradicted all of my assumptions (on the other side, there's also a few skaters who manage to pre-rotate their Toes by so little, that they actually manage to take off more or less backwards, so there's the other extreme as well).

This is also the reason why I always felt pre-rotation on Flip and Lutz should be penalised, because I always felt like it doesn't deserve the higher BV (which in my mind was a reward for more rotation completed in the air).
 
Laybackrelaxspinfast, by how many degrees does Alyona pre-rotate her lutz according to you?
https://youtu.be/7WnNk-yl-5I

Not much as far as I can see from that video. Why? A lot of her tech was taught at her previous school so I’m not too surprised about it being different to a lot of the TT girls. She could go some way to working on the edge that's for sure. I mean she has been, but with that has come some pre-rotation when she doesn’t hit it right. She either seems to be doing a flat edge or correct edge with pre-rotation. I think she will get it though. But she is a very complete skater with a few niggly flaws that could be easily fixed if they were so inclined to work on them. I could be a little bias here though as she is one of my favourites. :agree:

She is one of my favorites too. :)
But still how many degrees does she pre-rotate? I see that is much less than Trusova and Shcherbakova for sure. :)
 
Had to do a bit of searching to remember where I first saw this video. I think it illustrates the point made a few pages ago about in air rotation being sacrificed in the toe jumps which makes them easier. I really do hope the ISU judges apply the new rules because the difference is insane.

She actually came with a different technique on the lutz, it can be seen in her first year with Eteri. It was fixed into her current one in her current team. Her edge has also has improved significantly during her time with her current team.

Just from this video I would take a guess at saying she leaves the ice at about 90 degrees because she is sideways when both feet are up. I do think they are going to need some good quality slow motion cameras to check this if they want to commit to it though.

Yes they have done quite a bit of work on her edge compared to how it use to be. Still room for improvement but we can definitely see progress! :agree:
 
The ISU has done some changes in regards to BVs as well as other technical rules in singles and pair skating.

The ISU has added a category called "q" when judging underrotations. If a jump is one quarter under it will receive a q in the system, the BV of the jump will stay the same, but judges will give GOE deductions. Seems to be the equivalent of the ! in edge calls.
The BV of underrotations and edge calls has also been raised.
The BV of Quads has also changed. The BV of the 4Lo, 4Lz and 4F are now the same.
3F and 3Lz now have the same BV.

Which upcoming season are we talking about?!

sad joke I know.
I miss skating so much
 
loop apart from Yuzu and I think Grassl all other skaters like Uno, Chen and Rizzo abandoned it. Nathan even said in conference once that he thinks 4Lo is scary and wild and he won't do it anymore.

Krasnozhon still attempts 4Lo regularly, and Tomono said he's putting it into his programs now. Here's a nice one he did in practice. Nathan said in an interview last month that he plans on bringing it back as well.
 
Maybe next year we are going to see Paganini receiving +5 GOE on her lutz. :) And Shcherbakova -3 on her lutz.

I have to correct you. anna will not got -3 but if the new full blade rule applied correctly 0, or +1 Goe. Why? she gets +1 goe for hard transition,
+1 for arms, +1 for lenght/hight, +1 for eforttless throughout. so its +4 - 3 = +1.
