I’m a non-binary skater in a pair with a woman. In Canada we could theoretically win senior nationals (if we were good enough skaters obviously). In the US we aren’t allowed to even TEST for adult bronze (the lowest competitive level).

Another thing Skate Canada got right is simply eliminating the rule requiring teams to be 1 man and 1 woman, rather than creating a rule to allow “same sex” teams. It means all teams compete on an equal basis regardless of gender AND it allows for non-binary skaters!

I’m seeing a lot of “throw away the whole sport” comments today and honestly, I get the feeling. But I refuse to believe that abuse is intrinsic to skating. Deeply embedded in the systems and culture, yes. But we have to keep fighting for another way.

The bigger problem is that access for Golden Skate and other skating-specific media depends on skaters and federations liking you. They can and do refuse to answer questions, grant interviews, or even give accreditation if you are seen as a trouble-maker.

Friends, the Euler isn’t going away, this just allows a three jump combo with a Euler. For example, a 3Lz-Eu-3S-2T is a three-jump, not four-jump combo according to these rules.

A Euler will be considered a non-listed jump and have no value A choreographic spin in singles must have minimum 3 revolutions with any basic or non-basic positions allowed. Change of foot is optional and can be done several times.

I think Wakaba’s low score is rooted in sexism in how PCS is judged. In the men’s comp her power and speed would give her high SS marks like Kao, but instead she is penalized for not being balletic.
