It seems like Canadian skaters have been the most successful in figuring out how to extract the maximum number of points from their programs.
In the recent World Championships, if you compare Chan and Rochette to Joubert and Ando, the Canadians passed up the big tricks. Instead, their programs were constructed so that every turn of the blade got them an extra tenth of a point. In the end, like Buttle over Joubert last year, it all added up to victory.
What is it that Canadian coaches and choreographers know that the rest of the world hasn’t caught on to yet?
