Ah... the camera shutter noise you hear in those videos, is from the same guy that made the videos!a bit annoying video because you can hear all the shots some photographer is taking...).
He was basically a photographer with his camera on a giant tripod set up at the corner of the rink, front row. But he also had a camcorder attached to his camera so he could record video of everything, while he took his photos. Hence the noise in the video.
Yeah the shutter noise is annoying... it's always pretty inconsiderate of people, to use those noisy great DSLR clunkers, in amongst other paying members of the audience - with their huge lenses blocking the view or whacking people in the face, as well as the "machine gun" noise There are good reasons they are banned from many events/venues...!
But on the other hand, he graciously posted pretty much the entire competition on youtube - something to be very grateful for. And they're about the best videos available from that competition...
Anyway - back to Zagreb: GO KIIRA! It's been too long since we saw her graceful and elegant skating. I don't care about difficulty, placements or scores for her first competition after so long away - I just hope she can skate cleanly.
