I think that the ISU is of two minds about this. I think that Mr. Cinquanta would dearly love to take over the nomination of judges, thus augmenting his own influence and diluting the power of the national federations somewhat. The prominence of the techncal specialist is a step in that direction."Rather than adopting a new expensive judging system that still has pitfalls, the ISU should have been imposing lifetime bans for judges caught trying to fix results, strengthening its system of accountability and assessment of judges, and taking over the right to nominate judges, Bianchetti says."
