Oops just saw this and yes she's commentating for Australian TV/Stan (not sure if Stan is available in other places or if it's an Aussie thing) - although the free to air coverage of the Olympics on Ch 9 is rather dire this time around (they're only showing highlights!), luckily my parents have Stan so I can watch the whole event.
Clearly they made a mistake by trusting the wrong people. Hope the lesson learned and they will deal with someone reliable.
How does a different format changes the placement? I wish people actually got the sense of the post before replying it.If you look at that format posted on X, who wouldn't be confused? I use the format I always have - the one on the website:
Skating Scores: Latest Figure Skating Results, Scores, Rankings & Statistics
The best resource for Figure Skating scores and stats on the web.
Everything makes perfect sense to me. But then I know scoring.
For me its about how they move, Petr legs bend, back is moving, arms are fluid and movement is nicely projected. His edges are deeper and his program even the one made 3 days ago is less empty and has less crossovers than Egadze.
I think it's a little different in gymnastics because the routines are shorter. There's no set amount, but generally if you use only 5% of a song, it's not the heart of the song, and it's not for monetary value, it's fair use. The gymnasts aren't allowed to use music with lyrics either although vocals are allowed as long as they're not forming actual words, granted the line is pretty blurry (I'm not sure instrumental versions of the Beyonce songs I've heard should have been given a pass or Hezly Rivera's Pentatonix floor routine). If I were the leaders of figure skating, I might seriously consider going back to no lyrics. It won't solve all the issues, but it can prevent some of them. It seems especially tricky with music from movies that collaborate with outside music artists.
A simple solution is classical music, a wealth of it waiting there to be explored and zero music right issues!
Exactly the same sentiment here. Nervous as hell about tomorrow.
I think only classical music would be too artistically limiting. There's instrumental music in other genres, including movie scores and jazz.
It is incorrect to assume that classical music means no copyright. People had been caught with issues with who had recorded/performed it, and with the estates that reserve copyright. Basically, a good lawyer is a valuable addition to a team.
most of the problems I have heard about this year were Movies soundtrack.
Yuma skates on a different trajectory. Some skaters vault themselves very high up. Yuma seems to go for an arch. For instance, you can compare Amber's 3a. It looks high compared to Kaori's 2a who does a long jump but not as high ?
Well, his jumps consistently have less height in this table from this field.
I said scores, not soundtracks. There's a difference. A movie like Minions has a score and a soundtrack. The soundtrack is going to have more problems than the score because with the score there's usually only one or two people who get credit as composers. With soundtracks, there are typically outside artists because the songs have lyrics. The Hunger Games is similar is similar to Minions. On the other hand, with Interstellar or Gladiator, for example, you're going to have less issues. I know what the public domain is, and I don't think we need to be that strict. I'm even more worried about AI generated music becoming the future.
sure... but scores are not always great music to skate to. Dune has been used ad nauseam already and I am not one of the ones who likes that experience
I shamelessly love Dune, so that's that, but there are thousands of movies out there.sure... but scores are not always great music to skate to. Dune has been used ad nauseam already and I am not one of the ones who likes that experience
