Thank you, DR Ron Pulliam, for that very comprehensive summary of the World Skating Championships. I opted not to watch any of the final skates. I had read the results in the newspaper so I knew what was going to happen, and just didn't watch. (I did watch the Men's short programs.)
Since they changed the scoring system, I have really become disenchanted with skating. The nationals and worlds used to rank right up there with the Oscars and Tonys as far as yearly events I anticpated for the entire year. Now, I watch some of the nationals and almost never watch the Worlds.
