Under the old system, if you didn't make the jump, you didn't get credit for it.
More of this outcome-based, warm-and-fuzzy stuff infiltrating the sport?
Plus, IMHO, it causes the athletes to take dangerous risks (like that throw quad salchow the other night).
Indeed and there was more choreography. Now they're simply interested in how many quads and triples they can throw in for the point factor. What a turnoff.
