Olympic skating pairs: Why not toss the man?

Asked by majorrich (14741points) February 15th, 2010

Watching Skating on the Olympics last night and it occurred to me, Why does it always require that the male partner toss the female partner in the air to spin? I’ve seen some pretty strong women who would be more than able to toss a smallish man with no problem. Even my wife is bigger than Scott Hamilton! Am I thinking too much?
