I have a little question for the experts, that I can't answer by myself (I'm no expert ).
I know that in other sports we can speak of different regional schools, or styles (example = in Gymnastic we have the American style and the Chinese style). Do you think that we can speak of different geographical schools also in FS? Do you think that there are certain characteristics that are present in the majority of skaters from one country or region? For example, can you say that Irina Slutskaya or Elena Sokolova are Russians just after you have seen a program of them? Can you see similarities between them in certain characteristic (in elements and artistic presentation)?
