Neverending 1-minute long step sequences that have no other purpose than to earn that level 4! They are long, boring and have nothing to do with the music. Unfortunately, that seems to be the majority of step sequnces these days.
ILUSION AS DIFFICULT ENTRY IN THE LAYBACK SPIN. LET IT END. I know majority probably don't mind, but I do, since it's so unoriginal and everyone does it. It's even worse when the ilusion is badly executed. Also, I miss when men used to do ACTUAL difficult entries to a spin, these crazy turns and steps but now many of them just don't bother and do the stupid ilusion. I don't mind the ilusion for some reason as much in men, but it's starting to get on my nerves as well.
Speaking of layback spins, I hate how the classical layback position has basically died. Almost no one does it anymore. These days it's all about the Biellmans and level 4! When Mirai stopped doing the classic layback in competition, my heart sunk.
The next one actually bothers me because it doesn't exist anymore. The spiral sequences. They weren't the best and were too long and repetitive, but most of time I still liked to look at the spirals. I hate how the spirals are basically dead at this point. They are a part of this sport, they should be brought back.
Y spins where the skater arches back to get more flexibility. Evgenia does it nowadays (although she did a MUCH better version of the spin at Euros), Karen as well and Kanako used to it and I hate it, it looks badly and it's a way to more the skater looks more flexible when it's still ugly.
Long and laboured pair spins. Ice dancers actually do the pair spins much better! They are shorter and faster and better executed. Some of the pair spins in pair are a nightmare. They are so long badly done, and so much time is wasted, while that time could have been used a meaningful choreo. V/T spin started annoying me at their last season, but Dušková/Bidař pair spin is the most horrid one I have seen. One of the changes of position looks like a change of foot, but then is the
actual change of foot and the spin is so long and ugly! -
https://youtu.be/8X3czpGMX7M?t=2m49s Btw, the spin takes 25 seconds. SO LONG. WHY, JUST WHY.
There are more obvious thing like butt spins, half loops and bad technique on jumps but these were mentioned more than enough.
...I feel even dumber knowing the answer
