Now I know the real answer: Because without it, such as you would not even know the Olympics were underway, and if the Olympics are about anything, they are about money. Yes, that is the real answer. And the reason money moves toward ice skating is that it is spectacular, beautiful, dramatic (when they fall, omg!) and romantic, and it takes the most skill, art and concentration, and it has the prettiest costumes! I suppose all the pluses of this most difficult of sports could be considered to be outweighed by the one minus that corrupt judges sometimes make unfair judgments. I don't think the judging is that hard, corruption aside, though, because even those of us who know nothing usually know who's been the best skater. You are just bitter because you can't spin and twirl in your tight sequinned costume any more.
