You Be The Judge!

With the World Figure Skating Championships happening at this moment in  Boston, USA, Boston Globe staff writer Shira Springer takes a look at how the judging/scoring system works in this artistic sport.

After controversy and downright scandals at the Olympic Games, the sport's governing body, the International Skating Union (ISU), opted for a new judging system that was to be less corruptible and more objective.

Springer subtitles her intersting article "No sport does scandal quite like figure skating." With the help of ISU judge Wendy Enzmann she then proceeds to explain how a performance is assessed. Go to the Boston Globe article here!
