I once saw a 'track sheet', but I don't remember whose: lines on a paper following a skater's long program as it would appear on the ice.
If you watch a skater's track you could see how far s/he skates and how well the skater covers the ice. From this you should be able to estimate their speed, which is often discussed. I understand that if a skater does lots of crossovers they fare longer than if they do intricate moves, but still.
The stupid or not questions:
* Do skaters usually draw track sheets or whatever they are called?
* How? From recording from above, using some other technique or randomly draw?
* Do skaters/coaches use track sheets only for them selves?
* Wouldn't skaters who cover a lot of ice and have a long track want to show it publicly? Hoping the judges got to see it?
* I would like to see some if anyone knows where to find them
