Please see below for the following technical clarification regarding stopping during the Synchronized Spin element:
Teams may stop during the exit of the Synchronized Spin element. The judges will assess the quality of this exit using the established criteria in ISU Communication 2632 for both General and Element Specific criteria, but should not reduce using the “Stopping during Elements (except NHE or any Element in which the program ends)” reduction (-1).
The 2024-2025 Synchronized Skating Judge Update Presentation has been revised to reflect this clarification.
