This is so funny! I can relate to some of the things.
Adding:
- In the very very beginning I thought that it was just one jump in figure skating, not a lot of different jumps. So that they jumped the same jump all the time.
- In the beginning I thought also that a fall on the ice was the worst thing you could do and you would actually get no points for a jump with a fall. At the same time, I thought a popped jump, like a singel axel for example was much better then doing like a triple axel with a fall.
- As I didn´t recognize the jumps and the different levels, I was sometimes really confused and angry when a skater which did a perfect program with no falls and perfectly double jumps for example would get such low points, compared to a skater which had a skate with a lot of falls, but with a more difficult layout (which I didn´t recognize of course). "But she had a perfect skate, no falls, no stumbles, and she placed below the skater who had 3 falls in the program? How can that be?!"
Sometiems I wonder if it hadn´t been for the technical content box on some events and the commentators, I would still be pretty lost about the jumps, the different levels and how the points work.
