....just because you skate like a dog on stilts....and I wouldn't mind the "strangeness" if it comes with a lot of talent....the German pair of clowns were just as bad, dr H but they skated quite well..... -casandra-
pffft I just fall down and even she sucks, though really beautiful ...

...and the athletes or performers have to use more and more silly ideas to stand out from the usual crowd...all the images show it and also the video in this thread, nabi posted... -hobglobin-

Unfortunately the others are not qualified....and the dancers have their own way to be stronger, faster, swifter, i.e. more and more complicated loop jumps, compulsory figures (and questionable ideas and dresses)

but that's why- a combination of art and athletics....or artistic expression and technical execution...so it's not that bad for a sports...
