    Music rights clearance issues (policy being implemented by the ISU starting in 2024)

    Yeah, that theory also overlooks the fact that ice dance has been using contemporary music with lyrics for decades, and singles and pairs used plenty of vocal music in exhibitions -- and even in the 2010s, programs would get zapped from YouTube right away for using artists whose music would...

    They should skate to...

    It would need a little padding out timewise to be an SP, but the Zombies' cover of "Summertime" for a man with good footwork skills.
