I asked Sarah about what she thought about the compulsories being taken away and her response was:

"I liked compulsaries. It gave people with good basics a chance to show them off. Now some people who might not be ready to compete senior try anyways because they don't have to worry about compulsaries. But it is also easier not having to work on two different programs."
