We wrap up discussing this weekend's events with the junior women and dance, and have a lot of thoughts about the high scoring we saw at this JGP. We discuss the continuous rhythm requirements for a free dance (and a program that probably violates them), why the prevalence of quads coming in to the women's free skates can take away from the ability of these skaters to fully perform at the level we know they're capable of, and why long interruptions within a competition like we saw with the Rhythm Dance can be really unfair to skaters, and potentially skew the results of an event.
