ALL base values of all throws have changed in pairs.
Values for throws have NOT changed as far as I can see it.

still dont get the "q" sign thing either ... haven't we seen in the past many questionable calls for < and << which describe a range of missing rotation. So a Technical Panel couldn’t figure this out correctly or used different attempts to get this right or wrong ...
My guess is this isn't supposed to be groundbreaking, but simply a visible cue for the caller to let the judges know that this jump isn't UR enough to be called < but isn't clean enough to be home free and showered with GOEs. It's a cue for the judges to apply GOE reduction.
The q is an absolute joke. The ISU will be left red-faced the very first time a skater with a sheet full of qs beats a skater with cleanly rotated jumps.
You rotate your jumps, or you don't.
This wouldn't have made any difference to Mao. She was competing against Yuna, who had correct edges on both.
Remember when Amber Corwin's 3toe3toe would be called a 2toe2toe in the earlier seasons of IJS?
A proper lutz is damn hard and should be rewarded as such. I'm disappointed that the ISU has devalued a difficult and (when properly performed) beautiful jump. Brian Boitano is the ne plus ultra example - you can even see how the lutz is actually a jumped BO counter turn, performed in the air.
Tonya Harding's lutz was absolutely spectacular. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_2zevo3bco
Time to return to 6.0! They are going nuts with the most minute tiny distinctions of rotation! It’s going insane!! Every program will take half an hour to judge. FACT
Especially when it's a strategy to place elements in places that deliberately obscure the judges' view of what should be major flaws, like crashes on twists, where the man's back is to the judges. All of these tricks are well known and the camera placement would be obvious.This is mostly a bunch of fuss to do something without addressing the real problems, which are lack of camera angles for the technical panel and politically driven GOE and PCS.

I just went down a lovely rabbit hole of old Tonya video clips. Most of her jumps were spectacular: her lutz; her flip (out of an Ina Bauer); her loop had air time (allegedly, she did a quad loop, possibly in harness, for a Texaco commercial?). The triple axel usually leaned, but her double axel was straight up and could clear most compact cars. Her death drop had hang time. Her spins, especially her forward spins, were amazing in the early 90s. Sigh....
I just don't talk about any technically great skaters from the 2000s or 2010s the way I talk about Tonya Harding or Midori Ito. Or, before them, Denise Biellmann.
Fantastic. I could watch Tonya jump all day. The height, the delay, easy full rotation, the speed on the landing. +10Beautiful jump! While American ladies in recent decades have been know for flutzing, I noticed that the top American women of the late 80s/early 90s had great lutzes.

You won't. Nearly impossible to be rotating one direction (would be LFI 3 turns rotating clockwise) multiple times and then stop and rotate the other.Would love to see someone do running three turns (one direction) on their non landing foot into a lutz.
Poor Elaine has had to live with the Zayak rule for decades. Can we call any of this the Scherbakova rule?
A GOE deduction for the full blade assist on the Lutz.What would the Scherbakova rule be about? (sorry if that's a dumb question)
A GOE deduction for the full blade assist on the Lutz.
Yeah except Shcherbakova doesn't use the full blade, she simply drops it,
Another dumb question. What’s the difference between dropping the blade and using a full blade assist?
