Do you like the new rule allowing women figure skaters in the olympics to wear pants?

I think it's hilarious that just because it's a women's team, people are automatically suggesting names with reference to women.\n\nso...I will comply....\n\nTHE VICIOUS VIXENS\n\nTHE ICE VIXENS\n\nTHE FATAL FEMMES\n\nTHE AMAZING MAIDENS\n\nTHE ICE MAIDENS\n\nTHE HOCKEY HARLOTS\n\nTHE DANGEROUS DAMSELS\n\nCHIX TRIX\n\nTHE FLYING FEMMES\n\nTHE DAZZELING DAMES\n\nohhh...there is so many........\n\n\nThe Puck Sluts.(sorry)\n\nThe Busty Beauties\n\nFlower Power\n\nThe Better Genders

Yeah that could happen, or not.  Would they play by the men's or women's rules aka would there be checking or not?  Are you spotting the women a 10 goal lead or only 5.

I believe you're asking about the professional tours (i.e. PGA & LPGA). The truth be told, the women's PGA is less formal and has less history than the male PGA. Therefore, men are required to wear pants because that's what everyone else did 100 years ago. Also remember that just until the 70's, wearing anything other than a skirt covering their ankles was socially prohibited for females. So, since females now have the ability to wear whatever they want (and in some cases, very little), females on the LPGA can wear shorts. In the meantime, men are stuck with pants because of tradition and history.

I was not aware that it was not included in the olympics, this is a disgrace. I know a great many female boxers that are equal or greater in skill and determination to thier male counterparts. There is no doubt in my mind that females should be allowed into the olympics for boxing. I've been training in martial arts for far too long to believe that a genetic difference is a great separation of the human race, it's all in ignorant people heads.

First of all, I'm glad to see that somebody else besides me would prefer the olympics to be a sporting event, and not a biography on obscure athletes.  I can't stand to watch the olympics, because they never actually show any sports.\n\nBut... to answer your questions, it won't be all focused on ice skaters in mini skirts.  There will also be advertisements every 4.5 minutes.

No, I don't think she's skating anymore, but her sister Emily is. If Michelle Kwan is not fit to skate (she's been injured), then Emily Hughes will be on the team.

No. Exciting. No.\n\nNo 4 on 4 in regulation...totally changes the sport.\n\n4 on 4 is exciting in OT, because you get to watch some of the fastest skilled players on the ice.....but it takes away from the TEAM aspect of the game.\n\nNot a better brand of play, a sometimes exciting brand, but not the brand that I prefer...I'll take the old pair of Levi's over the flashy pair of Diesel's...

I think they are hot. as a matter of fact. They should not be allowed to play, because they melt the ice.

Heck Yes! You should start a rebelion or a revolution or something! Like when kids hate their parents, they go goth. And thats true, snowboarding is right?  That would probably make more people watch the olympics!

Neither males or females should wear things that revealing in public, girls should not wear thongs either!  There should be a law against speedos and thongs in public!

Each national sports governing body has their own selection process. In the U.S. ice skating is based on performance in the national championships, one event. In skiing, the skiers season standings.\n\nThe international federations also have rules on how many athletes are allowed to compete. For example, in figure skating, some are only allowed one skater, others two or three , depending on how well that countries skaters did in the last world champions ships. The U.S. got to have 3 women because of Micelle Kwan's 4th place finish at the last worlds.

Yes!  My daughter walks out of the door, properly dressed.  Skirt a decent length, tie properly done up.  Around the corner, down coems the tie and up goes the skirt.  When I ask why she tells me that the pressure on the kids is such that they're considered "uncool" to wear their uniform as it should be.  Trousers would actually free the girls from this pressure.  Also, never ever buy cheap skirts from supermarkets.  They're skimpy and make a statement.

ice skating and gymnastics, they're just so pretty...  i would also like to see bowling added (Thats my sport) btw to all yas who say thats not a real sport, i would like to see you bowl a 300, if it were that easy we'd all be, and trust me its not, im still waiting for my ring...   Also bowling is the 2nd most participated sport in the world, or at least the US, not sure... and i dont think it would compare to lets say the gymnastics ratings, but i think it can get people interested...  I think what they should do even if theres not enough interest in the sport to do it every year, they could add a few rotating sports, until it catches on... just do it every other olympics or something, but at least it gets the sport noticed and in the door...  ok im rambling\n\nEm

That's a good question. These Winter Olympics in Turin are the first I've seen of the new scoring system and it seems to be working fine. Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this new system designed more to prevent the ugly cheating scandal involving the French and Russian judges at the pairs competition during the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City? If it's made that sort of rubbish impossible to be repeated, then I think it's a big step forward.

A1: Yes, I think its nice sport if you mean cool, but in the case you mean if its nice meaning the people are, than it totally depends: coaches can be harsh at times (depending on who they are) and some people are just naturally too competetive.\nA2: Well, half the time I am but we SPOT, picking a spot to stare at until we slow down into an ending.\nA3: Well, you could wear anything you want but i really dont recommend it.\nA4: No, I wouldnt do it. You've gotta strech and that wont help, and if you fall, it really hurts, plus they might freeze. I recommend a dance or yoga pant.\nA5:Because of jumps and spins, also the zamboni doesnt always do a perfect job in layering out the globs of stuff, but thats not his fault.\nA6:Competitive level ranges in what your talking about too-if your talking about competing, then thats for your coach to decide and ranges on how many competions your local club sponsors. If your talking about testing, then it takes about 5+ years working 1 or 2 day sessions for 1 hour or more. \nA7:Of course, its natural! Especially when its a new jump...\ndont feel rained on if your fall at all!!! Everyone does.\nA8: Whats the best? THE feeling of......sense of accomplishment?....flying?....well whatever it is makes me soar. I love doing backwards thing like shoot-the-ducks and sprial (catch-foot). i love the toe-loops, and salchows. It just feels great. I cant explain all of it.\nA9: Hmmmm...  usfsa.org (united states figure skating assosiation), ifsmagazine.com, and isu.org (international skating union)\nIf you have any more figure skating questions you would like me to answer do another Yahoo! Answers question in sports> winter sports> and makes sure to put *miss artisic292* in the brief question summary thing!\n\nThanks, miss artistic292!!
