Nah I think cutting figures was a good thing. We don't need more Anett Pötzschs.

But I do agree that the new scoring system has hindered a lot of what makes the sport really beautiful. Damn do I miss good spiral sequences, and damn am I tired of ugly catchfoots. Even excellent and gorgeous skaters like Yuna Kim and Mao Asada I honestly feel are hindered a bit by it.

It is weird to me that you'd call it the sport's last shining moment though when it wasn't even Michelle Kwan's last shining moment. Her performances at worlds in 2000, 2001, and 2003, were absolute perfection. 2001 especially. Damn. They all three surpassed her Nagano skate, I feel (she wuz still robbed there though).

I wish there were a way to reward figures without them making the difference in placement. I totally agree, no more Annett Pötzschs or Trixi Schubas, but they were an important element in the sport.

And I miss spiral sequences too...nothing like a nice Charlotte spiral...
