Something like Michael Weiss' tornado is pretty original. But I think it is specifically illegal.
How about Surya Bonaly's backflip-triple Salchow combination?
First, I think there are some areas in which some programs or types of elements have shown more innovation in the IJS era than under 6.0, and because the 6.0 system was used for such a long time we see more innovation in some eras under that system than under others.
I believe that it would be easy enough to tweak the rules so that long programs especially would have more room for variety and innovation while still offering a fair comparison between skaters with different strengths. In fact, I think the new system has the potential to do this more fairly than the old system. It would just take a decision on the part of the rule makers to actively encourage a wider variety of possibilities.
Didn't Matt Savoie have a triple Lutz out of a hydroblade?
And she lands on one footl.. The sport is so acrobatic in many ways to begin with, why do they worry about acrobatics?Something like Michael Weiss' tornado is pretty original. But I think it is specifically illegal.
How about Surya Bonaly's backflip-triple Salchow combination?
I think some Russian skater(s) also received this bonus during their Nationals, but I'm not sure.
Was the 'Tano Lutz an original idea, or did skaters do it (on easier jumps perhaps) before Brian Boitano?
Is it a position from ballet?
What if a skater executed a perfect 3z and immediately toe'd off for a another in the different direction. We will never see that.
Similar arm variations had been done on easier jumps before Boitano did it on triple lutz.
I think that the best solution is what judges are already pretty much doing: Formalize the suggestion that +3 GOE be given by judges for moves or variations that are new and/or unusual. This is how Caroline Zhang ended up getting the ISU's first ever element with the maximum possible points (level 4 layback spin with +3 GOE from every single judge, for her layback with "pearl" variation transitioning to Biellmann).
The 2.0 bonus was added as an afterthought for purely political reasons to help sell IJS and get some critics of IJS off the ISU back. For that reason the bonus will probably never be awarded. It is there only for appearances.
But you could never require +3s for original variations because they might be very original but not executed very well.
