it's just handholding
same-sex pairs skaters asked to stop holding hands. You want PDA, go look at Torvill and Dean's 6.0 winning Bolero, in which Dean all but smooches Torvill.
Assuming the facts are correctly reported, one of two things happened: the pair were doing pair moves during non-pairs sessions and asked to stop because it was potentially dangerous (or potentially more lucrative to make them pay for pairs ice); or they were doing pairs moves during a non-pairs sessions and despite the presence of other pairs skaters (as distinct from casual skaters holding hands) they were singled-out to stop because they were a same-sex pair. Can't tell which it was.
The fact that this all happened in Berkley makes me wonder. What's going to be next? Chelsea Piers instituting a zero-tolerance for "unmasculine choreography" policy?
Edit: Scratch that. What's next is to prevent you from video-taping your daughter's routines in the name of protecting children from pedophiles. Beneath the surface of the headline, it seems the problem is only that the rink needs a policy to give some kindof credentials to parents so they can be identified.
