That way the training is there and skills are built early, but the broadcast networks won't complain about boring competitions. Expand IMHO I don't think it's a good idea to bring back school figures. One, moves in the field tests fulfill this very function. There are some who even feel that moves in the field do a better job than figures did at gaining a skater the skills that make for great step sequences and overall skating skills. Two, people that I knew hated doing figures. It was boring AF and it got in the way of the skating most of us wanted to be doing. (Yes, there were some skaters like Melanie Dupon who enjoyed it enough to win multiple national titles in figures but there weren't enough of these skaters to keep figures going once they were no longer required.) I honestly think it would be mean and pointless to make skaters go back to doing something that most skaters were more than happy to give up. Three, figures weren't something that people wanted to watch. Tracing patterns isn't going to bring in an audience let alone young skaters.
