It wasn't a "music" violation -- it was a time violation. She was still moving more than 2:40 after she started moving. The time limit for the short program was 2:40 maximum (it has since been raised to 2:50 max).
So here is a stupid question
Are skaters allowed to use the sound of skating in their music? I have been working on a musical arrangement and I just finished recording my friends at the rink so I could overdub the sounds of spins and deep edges. I've incorporated it into my song. Are skaters allowed to use music that includes the sound of let's just say a spin? If they matched it up it could add extra effect. If they miss it will be quite odd I would say so there is definite risk. If in fact my friend uses my song in a competition could she be penalized for breaking a "sound barrier" [x2 ] rule of some sorts.
This seems to be by far my stupidest question yet. I'm sure more will come to me.
^Isn't that cheating? (the applause track) Also, I think it's a terrible idea--what if you fall? You'll just look like a fool, having your soundtrack applaud you after a fall. There are a few 6.0 skaters who might be able to pull it off, but it's the last thing I'd recommend for a COP skater.
This definitely isn't the right thread for this, but I didn't want to create a new one...so...I met Kyoko Ina today and I had an actual lesson with her! I still don't think it has sank in that I talked to an actual World medalist and Olympian...
No

You might think the Jacobsson's of Finland were siblings, but they were husband and wife. Similarly, the Brunet's and Syers were married couples.
Siblings have won silver medals-for example the Duchesnay's in dance, and the Carruthers' in pairs, but I can't find any golds.
The Duchesnays are the only sibling dance medalists, of any color medal.

Question: What was the limit for number of jump combinations in the LP during the 6.0 era? Was it three, like it is now? Or were there no limits?
I was watching Kurt Browning's 1991 Worlds-winning skate, and I realized he did four jump combinations (in addition to three triple toe-loops)... and he won over 2 triple axel Viktor Petrenko. Kurt did more technically, but if he won while violating the Zayak rule twice, that does seem awfully unfair to Viktor...
Question : Do judges actually deduct points/punish skaters for wearing things like feathers on their costume? I know that they can if it actually falls off onto the ice but will they punish the skater simply for including it in their costume because its considered excessive?
