I don't like that they removed transitions and interpretation in the PCS score. Skaters like Hanyu who put a lot of effort into making their jumps look aesthetically pleasing will get even less points for doing so now although it makes jumps and choreo more difficult and more enjoyable to watch for viewers. Transitions should be valued more and not less, this is ridiculous

The age increase was long overdue. I’m so glad that they did it. Maybe now young skaters won’t be in such a rush to learn quads and train so hard that they injure themselves.

I like the idea of making jump sequences full BV of each jump, and as for the raising of the age limit, I think its a good idea but I do feel bad for some of the skaters like sofia akatyeva. But pleaseee keep the step sequences in junior free skate... it teaches them edge quality and flow

If they get rid of step sequence for juniors and at the same time make juniors last for 4 years say goodbye to good step sequences. Because when the new 17 year olds arrive in seniors no one will know how to do a step sequence.

They just killed the pcs score. Also Sofia Akatieva poor girl has to wait so long

Agree: - 15->17 years old as senior skaters - BV of + 2 or 3A, for example: Yuzuru’s 4T3A from 14 to 17,5 Disagree: from 5->3 PCS, ahh 😌 jumping skating not figure skating ⛸ with quads quads quads quads and less aristic

So sorry for Akatieva... I'm not against of increasing age limits but then ISU should increase age limits for junior because 13y.o. will compete with 17 y.o. I'm pretty sure you agree that Dvoyeglazova and Titova's skating and Valieva and Usacheva's skating are so different... Kamila and Daria have such senior programs with deep sense and really touching presentation

The raise of age limit will not fix the broken system magically, it will probably not prevent the child abuse all together either. But it’s still a step towards reducing it and it had to start at one point. Very unfortunate for the transition skaters that will have to wait three years but in the long term I think it is the right decision.

We don't need new protocols. Just call it a flutz or floop when you see it. The scoring isn't the problem. It's blind judges.

Thank you Yuzuru for announcing retirement after ISU remove transition, interpreration

Remove “transitions”, “interpreration” wtf 🤬 are you doing, ISU? I’m so sorry for all skaters who have good aristics like Jason, and of course who have good both aristics and technique like Yuzuru or Rika

I personally like the idea for increasing the age limit for adults category. Also, I never understood why the age limit for adult in single figure skating is low (like you can compete as an adult at age 15), but for ice dance is much higher (like you are still considered as junior even when you are 20+)

Way to go ISU, you're killing the sport

I felt very disappointed about recent figure skating rule changes passed by ISU! I wonder 1) Could ISU consider to create a separate competition for jumping and keep the traditional figure skating - which is balance between artistic and technical elements? The new competition may name ice jumping or ice gymnastic. 2) Could ISU penalize pre-rotation? It's no point to reward whole bunch of non-qualified quads! What it should do is: reward "real"/qualified quads! Same, call for non-proper usage of blade/top pick. 3) Could ISU get retired figure skater to be the judges - a lot criticism has results from inadequate technical knowledge of the judges.

The last change you mentioned in the video is quite ridiculous. I interprete from this decision is that isu encourage more jump.

I truly hate the simplification of pcs category. I mean they want to give trial for TES and PCS separate panel proposal but they simplify the category so it becomes more vague? It might not change anything at all, judges will still score pcs based on political but ISU are sending message that they want the "ice jumping" instead of "figure skating".

Seem to me ISU is trying to break the Russian dominance in women fs and Japan's in men in any way possible. Is ISU a sport organization or political party? If other countries want their skaters on the podium, let them learn properly and keep the sportsmanship. I also want to see FIGURE skaters not jumping machines. Or just seperate like in gymnastics. There's rhythm gymnastics. Even ballet is wonderful to watch because it combines art and athleticism.

I think ironically some of the changes are unfair to current skaters but the impact on the sport are very different: Raising the age limit is going to be unfair for skaters like Sofia, who are already trained to be fully prepared to enter seniors when suddenly the age limit is imposed. Indeed it is unfair to them, but the effect of that age limit will be beneficial to all future skaters because they will actually be given the time to polish their basic skills before rushing into seniors. BUT Reducing the PCS to 3 is an unfair change not only because it is unfair to skaters like yuzuru hanyu, who spent so much time polishing their craft, but it has no long term benefit to the sport at all. Unless someone can kindly explain how reducing those elements actually benefit the sport and encourage skaters to take on more difficult challenges without attempting dangerous elements. I see no actual benefit in reducing the PCS to 3 when in fact transitions and interpretation are individually different and are crucial in their own right. Try imagining a program with no transitions or interpretation! It will look awful.

Did they really get rid of step sequence isn’t it under review?

I think advanced novice should be made an international level like junior and senior, so we will have 13-15, 16-18, and then seniors at 17. 15-16 years can jump between novice and junior, 17-18 years can jump between junior and senior.

About raise age limit from 15->17 as senior skaters, I think ISU should do that at 2018 Congress with remove Zagitova’s rule. And you know, the 3rd Russian ladies single who could compete 2022 Euro, Olympics is Liza. Or even they could do it after 2014 Sochi olympics with biggest scandal at ladies singles event

I think transitions for jumps are still gonna count for getting a higher GOE? But not as artistic point?

Wait wait what? i am literally questioning I$U's decision making skills and UNDERSTANDING THE SPORT ITSELF. 1. why on earth are they removing the ARTISTIC ASPECT of an ARTISTIC (+ competitive) SPORT??? Many skaters such as hanyu and trusova (i like her artistry, fite me) are there working their a** off to create a piece that just not talk about the JUMPS and their values but also creating stories with all of them. 2. without those interpretation and transitions, i am very sorry but it will be just be a very bland sport. 3. I$U focusing on the jump sequence is good too but again, increasing the BV of each jump will also decrease the artistic level of the athlete's program (based on my observation and understanding), they should also increase the value of the transitions and not remove it :') 4. removing the step sequence is another wtf, what's the point of the jumps if u do not look at how the athlete will executing the jumps, whether it be a spread eagle or rockers, etc., because those still gives depth on how the skater will fully execute their jumps in and out. that's all :') can someone please please PLEASE, fix I$U :')

Raising the age to 17 will be a boon for the more mature skaters that don't have YOUNG bodies that can handle the harmful pre-rotation into jumps most of the Child Abuser Tutberidze's students do. Maybe we'll start seeing better looking NON JUMPING skating elements, not footwork and spirals that look like traffic accidents.

We all kind of knew about the age limit but the transitions and interpretation one? Oh my where can i read all the new accepted rules?? :)

should’ve just changed the name of the sport to ice jumping. art is nearly dead. all that work skaters like yuzuru and kamila put into making their jumps look beautiful is now insignificant.

Maybe you don't think so, but the idea of ​​qualifying for the world championship is really necessary because it was really unnecessary to watch skaters falling in the worlds, even in the basic moves. It's bad to watch falling skaters across worlds even in simple moves like 3 flips or 3 salkhows when viewed.Of course, not everyone can quads, but at least they should be skaters who do the triples properly.

Jump skating ?? 🤔

Degradation is going on...

I'm so glad Yuzuru made the right decision and turned professional. ISU JSF and all the other stupid feds never deserved Yuzuru Hanyu.

I see words but I don’t understand, can someone explain how these new rules make fs better?

年齢制限の引き上げはともかく、PCSの変更は反対が多いそうね。ただ、PCSの変更があるということは、今までの世界最高得点はリセットされるのだろうか。

It should be like Gymnastics turning 16 on the Olympic Year!!!!

Why not consider adding more gold medals to figure skate? There are so many gold medals for speed skate while only one for figure skate.

R.I.P ISU 😞

The last one is bullshit... and yeah I am sorry for Sofia but this change needed to happen, even tho I don’t understand why she will not be able to be in seniors since she is turning 15 next month

What a stupid changes! It's seems it's time to say farewell to 3Lz3Lo combo... Stupid ISU.

PCS changes are so bad they want to take the artistry out of this sport and make ugly skating the norm

*I THINK THEY SUCK!* I don't know much about figure skating other than I want to watch the best talent out there. Keeping the Russians out is foolish. I'm American and the current available American skaters are mediocre. Raising the age sucks too. Taking the step sequence out.. *WHAT?* That is my favorite part.. Politicizing figure skating is all this is. Move to America and skate. We don't seem to raise any decent skaters. I'll adopt Kamila. Again these are my opinions and I can't ice skate.

Don’t like the changes especially the age limit

'the only for them now, it's changing the country represent" oh no, just bring Russia back. that's it

FINALLY Alexandra Trusova WILL WIN NO NEED PCS TO WIN

So eteri has no senior skaters 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Убили фигурку, молодцы

Они просто хотят свести доминацию России и Японии на нет !!! Политическими методами и изминениями правил , судьям будет легче засуживать и влиять на них со стороны запада 😠🖕🖕🖕💥. Работу Юдзу свели на нет 😞😞😞, прощайте красивые переходы . Как соревноваться юниорам 13 лет с 15-17 летними 😮😮😮??!! Контент во взрослых будет 30 летний давности 🤦🤦🤦

Remove transitions: 👏👏👏👏 it will set us free of random leg kicks, leg extensions or spirals lasting 0,01 seconds. Remove Interpretation: 👏👏👏👏it will set us free of weird faces or exaggerated arm moments or sorrowful expressions, specially from pre-pubescent girls that actually look constipated…

They removed transitions and interpretation to favor more jumping and obviously boost American athletes once again ruining the artistic side of figure skating

Querem só parar os russos que na minha opinião são os melhores.

羽生ヘイターが集まるここで二度と日本の至宝羽生結弦選手の画像をサムネに使うな。ロシアが羽生選手にしてきた苛めを日本人は決して忘れない。

How about the drug abuse? Do they want the skaters to go on using bad drugs for greedy medals?

Все против русских, готовы на все пойти.

I'm so super tired for these totally incompetent and sooo very bad and biased judges that I who really love FS stopped totally to watch to all what ISU shows when Yuzuru retired! The all ISU wifes qualify to judgeship and it's totally under the line today! So retired figure skaters to due honor and they must be the referees in the every competition if ISU intends to survive att all! It's no more than very,very right that Yuzuru Hanyu is the judge in the future competitions! He knows what is a real figure skating and he is honest! He is a person who have no one as "a lap dog" in advance in the FS but everyone gets a fair review! I'm sure that the audience also wants to come back and throw a Pooh Shower on the Ice on honor of such an Awesome Super Judge! 😊😅🎉❤🫶🏽🙏🏽
