22 Feb 10 - 04:35 PM (#2847001) Subject: RE: BS: Winter Olympics 2010 From: WalkaboutsVerse Mixed feelings from the Original Dance competition: good that couples had to skate to folk music; not so good that they were allowed to choose from another nation - and there was some controversy over the Russian's interpretation of "Aboriginal dance".

22 Feb 10 - 06:04 PM (#2847085) Subject: RE: BS: Winter Olympics 2010 From: PoppaGator The Russian men's-singles figure-skating silver medalist (Plushenko?) was and is able to do "quad" jumps (four full revolutions in the air) and incorporate at least one or two of them into his routine. The American gold medalist Evan (drawing a blank on his last name) only did triples in his routine, but his overall performance was judged to be (slightly) better. The Russian was quoted as complaining that, if the quad jump is not required for a gold-medal performance, then men's figure skating is "not sport, it's only dancing." Sounds a bit like sour grapes to me, and not only (I don't think) because I'm American rather than Russian. The whole enterprise IS "dance," or at least a mix of dance and athletics; the Russians/Soviets would never have become a predominant power in figure skating had they not incorporated their ballet tradition into the training program for this "sport." I wonder if the quad-jump is some kind of unbreakable "barrier" in the sense that the four-minute mile was once erroneiously believed to be impossible to surpass. The difference is that times for the mile (or for any running event) can be improved incrementally, a split-second at a time. Skating jumps MUST be increased in 180-degree, if not 360-degree, increments; you can't spin 4.0172 times in the air and come down without stumbling, you have to come down completely frontwards or backwards. The laws of physics just might, possibly, render completely impossible a five-revolution jump by a human being on ice skates, and maybe even a four-and-a-half revolution spin... |

22 Feb 10 - 07:41 PM (#2847171) Subject: RE: BS: Winter Olympics 2010 From: catspaw49 Poppa.....It wasn't all that long ago that the triples were the mark. Over time, triples became incorporated but had it not been for skaters like the "Two Brians" who incorporated them fluidly into their performances than we'd still be talking triples and not quads. If you go back to the time of say, Sonja Henie in the 20's or or Dick Button thirty years later, any double was miraculous. It takes skaters out on the edge (or would that be edges) to advance anything. Without the athletic performances of them there would be stagnation. But more importantly and to offset all the quad hyperbole, it takes artistic skaters like Tuller Cranston a few years ago and Johnny Weir now to keep figure skating moving forward in that area as well. If you saw Johnny Weir's routine, he not only did triples and the like but he captured you. I guess you'd say he made a statement on the ice. I thought he was unfairly scored......but then scoring takes awhile to catch up too. Spaw |

23 Feb 10 - 05:29 PM (#2848080) Subject: RE: BS: Winter Olympics 2010 From: Q (Frank Staplin) I had some of the same thoughts as Catspaw while watching the dance competition. Most of the pairs had complex athletic moves but too often flow, fluidity was absent and transitions were jerky and the performance looked more like work than fun. Dance should look enjoyable. Both the American and Canadian pairs excelled in keeping the transitions fluid; the athleticism was there but did not break the flow. I thought the Canadians were slightly better, but, not being knowledgeable about the minutiae, would not have objected if the 1-2 finish had been reversed. I also think Cranston was a genius on ice, but he was certainly in advance of the judges of the time. |

23 Feb 10 - 05:42 PM (#2848102) Subject: RE: BS: Winter Olympics 2010 From: gnu Recall when Scotty did that first back flip? THAT was gooood. Yes, Cranston was quite an artist. I could go on, there are so many, both male and female. For me, Kurt Browning will always be my fav... I watched him do a routine of a drunk skater here in Moncton... never saw anything on ice like it ever. I've seen other routines by him that are amazingly athletic, artistic and unbelievably entertaining. |

23 Feb 10 - 06:02 PM (#2848125) Subject: RE: BS: Winter Olympics 2010 From: PoppaGator In last night's dance competition, I thought the Canadian pair were wonderful and deserved the gold, but that the silver-medalist Americans (their friends and training partners) were just about equally good. Coulda gone either way I really thought that 3d and 4th place should have been reversed, though ~ didn't see anything "wrong" with the older US pair's routine, while the Russian pair looked a little herky-jerky to me, and their reliance upon straps built into their costumes for use in their lifts was not only borderline-cheating (commentators said it would probaly be outlawed by next year), but it was clumsy. Plus which, their phony Aboriginal costumes in the previous round were incredibly corny, not to mention in bad taste! Latest sour grapes from Plushenko: He's now claiming that his men's-singles silver medal is actually platinum, better than gold.
