Bill Fauver Skaters Quotations

Other than rhythmic gymnastics, it's really the only sport that crosses over into art. The truly artistic skaters offer so much more than a skater who's just an athlete. I think it has a great deal of appeal to women, which is our core audience. It's always been popular and I think this year will be no exception.

It's been so long overdue. I think it takes away about 50% of the judges' importance to the event because now you have former skaters and former coaches sitting there calling the elements. The judges can only judge the transitions, the music, the program. So it's taken a lot out of their hands. I think it's great.
