F. Clothing
Rule 612 (Previous Rule 512)
1. The following restrictions apply unless otherwise announced by the Ice Dance Technical Committee in a Communication. At ISU Championships and International Competitions, the clothing must be modest, dignified and appropriate for athletic competitions – not garish or theatrical in design. Clothing may, however, reflect the character of the music chosen.
a) Ladies must wear a skirt. The Ladies dress must not give the effect of excessive nudity inappropriate for an athletic sport. Men must wear full-length trousers: no tights are allowed and the man’s costume may not be sleeveless;
b) Accessories and props are not permitted;
c) The decorations on costumes must be non-detachable.
"The Zhangs score is almost enough to make me not want to watch pairs skating ever again. Truly disgusting, repulsive, a slap in the face to all credability of the discipline."
