Quite the contrary ... the new judging system reduces the emphasis on jumping. Without starting at 6.0 and getting demerits from there, every aspect of a performance can be added to gain points ... and the reliance on constant jumping has fallen by the wayside.

I personally think this makes for more interesting performances.

If it seems that some skaters are suffering under the new system ... well, that's because it's new. It will take a while for skaters who can excel artistically and techinically under the new rules to come to the fore. But it will happen.
