I'm not sure what to think right now. The part of me that has alway loved the men, and thier bigger jumps, more than the women admires what Nathan and Vincent brought tonight, even if Vincent isn't fully rotating his jumps all that often. I'm a fan of the athletic aspect over the artistry.
But...
Most of the quad-heavy programs are choreographically empty. This is a hybrid of figure skating and some other sport. It's interesting, but it's not what most skaters have trained to be. A decision is going to have to be made about where the sport is going. Personally, were I coaching a skater now, I'd advise him to concentrate 80% of his time on jump practice and not worry too much about what goes between elements. Just throw some engaging music on and skate around a bit then jump. And you know what? I'd watch that. But it isn't figure skating as its traditionally been. Is it what audiences want? I don't know. Maybe, but looking at who has the most devoted fan love it's the 2-3 quad men with fuller programs.
No matter who ends up winning, this is a crossroads moment for figure skating. Interesting times.
Love you guyss
I wish I could watch the Canadian broadcast.
