I think nearly all the ladies can do a good 2A in their sleep so why not allow the require axel be a triple? Why not give a little incentive for ladies to push their limits? If this rule passes I think we may see more ladies go for the triple axel because for one the double axel requirement will be gone and second going for a triple but it gets downgraded-it's still a double axel. I think perhaps in the future we may see more women do triple axel then true triple lutzes. Especially if the tech callers get stricter and stricter with edge calls. I think giving a bonus to 3-3's is also an incentive to push limits. And the 2 quad's in the men's short as well. I believe the regression talk though out COP's history but up front and center during the 2010 Olympics has really opened some eyes. I hope it passes and then I'll hope that along with the required axel a required edge jump and toe jump is required in the future. I also hope that each spin be significantly different too. For the short. I want these to be true technical programs.
I like the no spiral or second foot work sequence in short as well. It leaves more room for individualism and (especially for the men) was just a second test of the same skill set. I want to see ladies spirals but with foot work the way it is now and with the pcs skating skills and especially transition there is no real different skill being tested enough to waste time on ugly positions.
And the half loop be a loop for 3 jump combinations will make things interesting in the long. It makes a 3S-.5 loop-3t worth full points.
I hope it all passes
