2024 ISU Congress Agenda

FS Xwitter is ridiculous. They're beating up on Ari (and the USFS) because they were the most recognizable and vocal in their opposition to the new rule changes taking effect immediately, but the JSF and Italy both voted in favor of the delay and both spoke out against them (Japan on Monday night during the Workshop and Italy during the FS Branch session). So, clearly, two other countries with men who have multiple quads and are top skaters weren't thrilled with these changes happening mid-cycle.

FS Twitter obviously doesn't care about figure skating then. Implementing these new rules now would mean lots of skaters (particularly Juniors, but certainly many Seniors as well) having to rework programs and spend more money they probably don't have in order to do so.

The US club competition season starts in April/May, and while our Juniors/Seniors aren't typically competing until July they still likely will have their programs done or near done by now if competing in July. Korea's already had a training camp that I'm sure skaters had to have some sort of program ready for, and Japan's skaters also seem to start programs in Spring. This doesn't benefit anyone's skaters to have rules change right now, and I don't get how FS Twitter doesn't see it - probably because they don't know/care about how the sausage gets made, only that it does get made.

Now, if the congress happened in April, it might be more reasonable to implement the changes this season.

Again. They're not beating up on Ari and USFS because of this, but simply because they hate them. You need to understand them like Jane Goodall might primates.

And Ari is annoying. I do not see why we need to be happy he's powerful or whatever.
 
Imagine someone recreating what Surya used to do during her professional days where she did a one-foot backflip (I guess we can call it a layout step-out?) into triple Salchow… :respec:
 
A backflip still isn’t going to grow the sport or generate any interest. Turns out what will is growing the artistry which it refuses to do. Even with gymnastics thats been on the past few weeks, how many uneven bars and balance beam routines can be carbon copies of the one before it? Anyways, the rant is over lol lol. Well, at least until cranberry cup.

I disagree that they are refusing to do this. The changes to the planned program content of the pairs, and singles events that is slated to go into effect for the 26/27 season are steps in that direction. This is the difficulty of an artistic sport when you let everyone know what you need to do to win, which is what happened with IJS was introduced, and therefore you get programs that look similar because the athletes are going to do the things that the judges reward.
 
Nothing exciting, but yesterday ISU published a brief video of Athletes Commission members speaking about their work in general terms. (Recorded at ISU Congress, apparently.)

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I know the ISU Athletes Commission as an entity is not new; I think the idea is to hear a little from each of the current members.

ETA:​
Instagram version later published on Jul 3 has long caption describing functions of Athletes Commission:

... Don't know when the sentences below on Swiss Timing's site were written, but they say that the video replay system is HD.
I think the part about HD quality could be new?

"We have also introduced a high-definition scoring system for figure skating. Each element presented by the skater is evaluated instantly and reviewed using our combined scoring and HD video replay system. ..."

Nope, I was wrong (sorry). HD quality for IJS replays is not new.
Came across article from 2019 that says, "Current replay systems use commercial HD cameras typically recording at 30 frames per second, giving a 33 msec frame time."
