![Quote: What if we bring a red button right in front of the kiss and cry? And when the skaters see their scores on the monitor and don't like it, you press the button, the challenge button.
And then my idea is like this: the technical committee member stands beside the real judges...If the skater pushes that red button, the technical committee will review during the next performer. So we don't lose a minute...
They may make the same decisions, but maybe you're right [and] the skater could win... this kind of mistake could happen. The skaters are sacrificing their whole life to skating. They're serious. On the judge's side, or the organization’s side, we also need to be serious. To avoid those kind of mistakes, I think this kind of a challenge system [could work].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:caojxy3pm4njusbi75s2va75/bafkreihw55dkpw6ilhsrh7ur4wjnxw24tzfu45vh6mvgleiga5ycrcbowq)
![That's something I try to tell my skaters as well, that it's okay [to make mistakes].
'You fell, it's fine. You're going to go to school tomorrow. You're still going to have to take the same test. Nothing changes. I still like you. I'll still teach you.'
So l try to just make sure they understand that.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:caojxy3pm4njusbi75s2va75/bafkreigt2l6kq4sbbkf52mlnwl6bzit7ukh4bneoo3veincs3p2ywawtea)
