If I was a judge, I’d prolly look at the big picture, how well they work with the music, costume, gracefulness, even how cute they are, mix it up a bit. It was exciting to watch, though…I like the skating as it sometimes has a bit of humor, like dance/ballet, and the one thing about the Olympics that gets tiring is how serious they are. I’m too irreverent to take too much seriousness, even if they did train for 10,000 hours and blow their last chance and disappoint their country , yada, yada, yada. That, and I would gag the announcers so you can watch the events in peace without their inane comments.
