But without a glove we would never have had Camille.

Oh yes Math, thanks for reminding me about Camille. Camille had her own long thread here at one time. Many of us were dedicated to her.
What about this gloved skater??

ah Camille... yes many a joke was had at those nationals thanks to my friends in the arena... I had a pair of red knit gloves that I let a friend have after she named one of them after Johnny's glove... we Johnny-fied a lot of my accessories that year (he liked MY sunglasses that she was wearing on her head, so she got to keep those too lol)
She did? Lol! would have loved to see that

I wore gloves for practice sessions when I figure skated. Of course, gloves were a necessity when tracing figures (ice rinks are cold!) because one's movement was pretty stilted. Most skaters do not wear gloves when taking tests or competing or in shows (unless it is part of their costume). I noticed some of the skaters were a little over the top costume wise (Russia's top lady contender for example). There was time when the rules were very strict about what costumes the skaters could wear for competitions, but now it does not seem as strict. I don't have a problem with a skater wearing gloves as long as it makes sense.
