I've learnt Serbian women and men have different races. Maybe I became wiser a bit
I dont know is there are some changes in first 2 things, but in GOE's - there is!
There will/may be many changes! Thank God Camerlengo will help Zhenya
for example...

Changes to the LoD, Singles:
- step sequences: the feature for a 1/3rd of a pattern on one foot is removed
- spins: difficult variations (DV) now count as many times as they are executed, except that each "type" of DV can only be considered the first time that it is executed. For example, only one attempt - and only the first attempt - at a sit spin forward variation counts; only one attempt - and only the first attempt - at a sit spin side variation counts, etc.
- all other spin features count once per program (and only for the first attempt, of course, except for 8 revolutions, which counts the first time that it is successfully performed)
- clear increase of speed and jump on the same foot within a spin are no longer considered DVs but are now listed as individual features, meaning that they can only be counted once per program
- "intermediate positions" are now named "non-basic positions"
- the ambiguous language defining an upright spin as having a straight or slightly bent skating leg "that is not otherwise a camel" has not been clarified

A strong performance likely would help Gold get a second assignment on the senior Grand Prix circuit next fall. Those assignments will be made May 19.
