Hmm, I wonder if these rules were put forth to target a skater like Satoko, most of these rules will hurt her the most.
In the end she still gets what everyone thinks she deserves. Just switch her PCS and TES around and she would be getting the same score. Moreover, most skaters get +1.40 GOE for their 3-3 if they execute them cleanly, she gets +0.70. Basically it's +1 all over the board and a skater only needs to fulfill 2 of the 8 bullet points proposed by the ISU to be able to receive +1. In Satoko's case, "effortless throughout", "good flow from entry to exit" or "element matched to the musical structure" can meet the requirements. It's the spins, the choreo sequence and the step sequences that give her the biggest GOE points, and deservedly so.
+1.40 GOE vs +0.70 GOE, that means Satoko can execute her combination as clean as she possibly can but she will always get half the GOE points a skater like Gracie Gold or Anna Pogorilaya would get for that same combination. How much more credit would be enough?4. More credit for more powerful, big jumps versus little jumps
