Sonia as usual had some outspoken opinions. She must really be a thorn in the side of the ISU with her rants opposing them.

I am starting to agree with this sentiment:
"In the endeavour to achieve very high technical scores, the (pairs) couples are putting everything they can into their programs. One lift or throw jump after the other, sometimes of mediocre quality, but with the most unbelievable positions and dismounts, not always aesthetically good, just to increase their level of difficulty.
"But no skating anymore...
"What will be the future of figure skating if this system is not changed? What I feared since the beginning, for the future development of our sport, is already happening after only one year. The skaters are using every trick to get more marks, to the detriment of the overall performance."
If the goal of the New Judging System was to make figure skating more like other sports, fine. I'll watch other sports.

Yeah, the new system is making programs a bit too mechanical and calculated in order to think of all the values, etc.......It loses something from a free, creative, flowing performance then.
