Well - if the rules stated you had to go a certain way and that points were awarded for following a specific style - he wouldn't have jumped the way he did. That's kind of a ridiculous comment. These athletes know what the rules are - better than you or me. They know exactly how to score high as they've been doing it their whole lives. If the athletes thought it was a farce to judge the event - they wouldn't be in it.
