Can this be the official Jumpamatron music going foward? :biggrin:

We'd have to create a new YouTube persona called 'Judge Wapner' that we all have access to upload anonymously to.

I will sit this one out, though. Rather not run the risk of uploading Olympic video, no matter how short the content is... and I already have enough comments about Sochi on my channel than I'd care to read.

I'm sure you meant....Judge Wapamatron :biggrin:

I put a really stupid video together and started downloading it. For some reason the music track skips which drives me nuts so I'll have to start searching for a better version. I'll check the YouTube upload in the morning and see if it is worth posting. If not....well... hang in there. :cool:

The People's Court theme just makes the jumpamatron that much better IMO. I hope you guys know this was just to be funny and not imply guilt. I was cracking up the whole time and I'll probably go back when I get time and add more zooms and slow-mo shots at the end. I mean, it's like a four minute song.

*if anyone feels the urge to argue about this video please take my link and start a new thread.

Sabinfire: thanks for the links. They were much cleaner than the Ashley videos I found that were "HD". I don't know what I do wrong when searching videos but I seem to have a way of finding the blurry ones. :laugh:

You're a brave one, Sam!

IMO this proves that the tech panel got it right. The Lutz was ! for sure, but there was no ! back then. So, given that benefit of the doubt goes with the skater, that's fine. And the 3T was borderline; you could have given it either way. I erred on the side of giving it, because it didn't look quite on the quarter. Again, benefit of the doubt goes to the skater.


But I also wanted to thank you, because the clips of her skating showed again her bright joy, her fierce attack, the feeling that all of her was on the ice that night. It brought a smile to my face.

i loved the video name and the music Sam, thanks! :laugh: 3T seems UR to me, and i will leave it at that :P
 
Love the video Sam! I watched it in suuuuper slow-mo (did the 0.25x version on YT) during your already slowed down video.

IMO, that was a total 'e'! And her slight toe axel after warranted an '<', too!

But that's the beauty of figure skating! We all have our disagreements-- that's what makes it fun and interesting to discuss afterward!

P.S. That music was fun... what is it?

It is the theme-song from an 80's reality court TV show 'The People's Court', which was primarily small claims arbitration. The show was the first popular TV show of its kind.

ETA: maybe in future videos, we should use that 'typewriter' sound effect with on-screen descriptions of the skaters and the 'issue' at hand. :laugh:

"I know you've been sworn. I've read your complaint..."

LOL... i am all for benefit of the doubt for any hard working skaters, but you can't argue with history. Other than a simple review here supports MORE than NOT that indeed she flutzed, and has an <3t on slow replay. That she is already a well known flutzer. Has she ever had a validated 3lz3t in the entire history of her 7 years career to warrant the benefit of the doubt? (Preferably outside Russia nationals which she have been shown time and time again held up by her federation over others.)

The Olympics games is a human right movement that calls for fair play where ever in the world you come from. Every nationality should be treated with respect, without discrimination for or against. The judging panel at the games is bigger just what Sotnikova did or did not do. Is there enough instances through out the games to have shown preferential treatment to support the underlying fear we all have as human race as a whole? That some how preferential treatment can be determined by birth right and not individual merits has pushed back the Olympic movement for a few centuries at least.

It also underlies my problem with the sport. Figure skating should be an individual sport but the balance of power between individual sportsmen and the federations and the way it is governed discredit the sport. IMO many skaters get disenfranchised if they are out of favour with the federations, and it can impact their individual standing internationally. Some of my fav skaters has been victim of this, Daisuke/Abbott/Akiko/Mirai etc. How they determine the GP event for example although practical can also be considered rather unethical. (Gee wonder why Cup of Russia has the easiest competition again for the ladies?) It prevent true fairness and it is about propping up federation interests above else, it makes the sport unnecessarily political. The rests are just musical chairs that can't be taken too seriously.

Thanks Sam! And I'm sorry for not posting the links. I was about to post them but then the internet got shut off.
 
I have to say Adelina's lutz is one of the weirdest lutz jumps I've ever looked at. It's like she stays on the correct edge but does a lutz entry...and then goes into a sort of a loop. It's like the first ever looptz jump. :laugh:

Skate America LP 2012. I didn't re-watch the LP, just the protocol. 3Lz-3T with +0,93 GOE.
The history argument is majorly stupid, btw, because yes, people might actually improve, and they might actually deserve credit for that. I'm not interested in taking any further part in any of the 'Sochi scandaaaaal!!!' stuff.


Sam, you're really brave for making this video at all! Hopefully the thread will survive it :drama:

LOL! You have to go as far as that? Is that the ONLY one you can find. Hmm let's see... yes it was back then when she get reasonable scores of 110.00 for one of her better seniors outings and her incredible 'taste' programs, that had been beaten by Christian Gao. The technical caller there was none other than Mr. Alexander LAKERNIK Surprise surprise!! :laugh2:

Of course people can improve but they can also deteriorate over the years. Just how long did you have to dig that up because I sure recall it was a huge problem jump for her in 2013/14 season. So I got curious and start to dig up her old e records for the 3lz for the Olympic season.

I do empathize with why you dislike the historical argument though, when in fact it is widely applicable in this sport. To consider the argument stupid is entirely ignorant. Why are the reasons Mao hardly get benefit of the doubt with her < 3/3s and <3a and her 30% something success rate for the 3A makes her vulnerable to people like Mishin's politicking. Mirai pron to get called UR call and hardly get any benefit of doubt, so does Ashley (unless it suit the federation interest in which case a lenient caller at home games is better served). It is also the reason why Patrick/Hanyu often ends up unintendedly held up again and again despite multiple falls because their historical records and performances. At least Mao's 3A success rate is higher than Sotnikova's 3lz during the Olympic cycle. In any case I don't know why you are acting all uppity about it, I'd thought you of all people will have a problem with how Mao has been judged in Sochi relative to others, but I guess your enemy's enemy is your friend... :biggrin: if so, that would be rather pathetic.

Where is the 'enemy' talk coming from? I didn't like the Sochi judging overall, that doesn't mean I agree with any argument made against it, and certainly not the rants against Adelina specifically. Bringing up Mao doesn't make much sense with this. It's true that there is 'history judging', but I specifically meant I think this is stupid and certain skaters being more scrutinized than others isn't fair.

And I didn't dig up anything, I remembered that she had it ratified in SA, and simply looked up that one event. And I didn't look further than that.
