2026 World Figure Skating Championships | Men's Free Skate

Thank you for posting this. Thank the Gods for sub titles. I am glad music rights were talked about. I am not sure I know or understand what they said about proposed changes.....or what the changes entail. It is interesting that Ilia said he would discuss his mother's competing there when he got home or when he saw her next. Are his parents separated?
No, I don't think the parents are separated, she's busy and he's off with his Dad at comps. The changes sounded like the reduction on the number of jumps...but I thought that already happened...

With my old ears, it sounded like a reduction in jumping passes but you might be right and it might be total jumps (no wonder Ilia is agaisnt it) There was some noise about getting rid of a short program and grading spins differently. Ex ISU president "Speedy" C. was successful at getting rid of the pattern dance and also wanted to dump the short dance. He is an interesting fellow. Even booed by fans....So how did he stay in power so long in a volunteer job and yet become rich enough to afford 5 villas? Read Oly judge Jon Jackson's book "On Edge"

Why anyone would take a speed skater's opinions about figure skating seriously has always been a mystery to me.
