I wanted to thank everyone for your information on my post about being injured and off the ice for a while. It looks like I have to be patient and just wait this thing out and work hard when I can start to skate again.

I have a question about the new judging system. I was reading the article on the USFS site about the recent competition that Sasha Cohen competed in. I had looked at the ISU rules in the past and thought that there were only level 3 spins and spirals. The USFS article said that Sasha had level 4 spirals and spins. How is that possible? Where can I find information that states exactly what determines a level 4 anything? I thought that the level only went up to level 3. Have I missed something? I cannot wait to see the new programs when they air so that people can compare what the skaters are all doing in the new judging system.

Last season there were only up through level 3 spins etc. for singles.

This year the ISU redefined things and there are 4 levels.

Thanks for updates on the changes. Do you know where the link is to the details on those changes? Remember on the USFS website they used to have like a table that listed what you had to do for each spin, etc. to get a level 1, 2 or 3? Do they have a revised table?
