I am glad to see figure skating being judged on the complete program, not just jumps as it had been for too long. Skating is sport, but it is also art, and the new scoring focuses on the skater as a complete package, not just how many jumps he can squeeze into a skate or the complexity of the jumps. There is so much more to a beautiful and skilled performance than jumping and I'm glad to see the skating federations finally recognizing that.
