2023 World Junior Men's Short Program

I think we had the topic with Budapest Trophy and... an American skater which name just escapes me.
Any interruption just requires the mandatory deduction and it's a fix value iirc?

Rule 515 is about interruption. Point C deals with adverse conditions due to the skater's equipment.


4. Adverse conditions related to the Competitor and/or his Equipment occurring during the program:
If a Competitor is injured during the program or another adverse condition related to him or his equipment (such as but not limited to health problems, nose bleeding, lace undone, damage to clothing or skates) occurs the Competitor must stop skating when he becomes aware of the problem or at the acoustic signal of the Referee, whichever is earlier. The music shall be stopped only if the Referee instructs the music technician to do so according to section b) below.

Duration of Interruptions:
a) Up to 40 seconds
If the adverse condition can be remedied without delay the Competitor does not need to report to the Referee and the music continues to play. If he resumes skating within 40 seconds, the Referee will apply a deduction as per Rule 353, paragraph 1.n).
b) Up to 3 minutes
If the Competitor does not resume skating within 40 seconds, the Referee shall instruct the music technician to stop the music and allow the Competitor 3 additional minutes. If the Competitor resumes skating within this additional period, the Referee will apply a deduction of 5.0 points as per Rule 353, paragraph 1.n) This deduction also covers an interruption of up to 40 seconds immediately preceding the allowance of 3 additional minutes. When the problem is solved, the Competitor shall continue from the point of interruption or, if interruption occurred at the entrance to or during an element which was called by the Technical Panel before the interruption, at the point immediately following this element. The call made prior to the interruption shall stay.
