Lyrics are fine!
I am old enough that when I started watching, they were still doing actual figures! I loved looking at the precision and skill.

IMHO, the worst thing to have happened to the sport was when they got rid of the 6.0 system. It got rid of a huge part of the suspense, made it very hard for the audience/viewers to make sense of it, and enabled endless point-chasing. Turned the sport into a jumping and contortionist contest.

It's kind of amazing how we got to have a do-over, a privilege few other countries sliding into authoritarianism get to have, and made the exact same mistake.
