ordsw24 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 So, I subbed to Fan Network. I remember a few years ago there being a lot of buzz about a top tier guard in IW who totally choked in finals. They were definitely in the top three and kept their placing after finals, and a lot of posters thought they should have dropped. It may have been on BOA's forum I read about it, so it may have been a few years ago, but it was definitely WGI-IW. Does anyone know the show I am asking about? Apparently, there were like 8 drops, but defenders of the show pointed out that it was a super complex show with all kinds of crazy tricks and they deserved to keep their placement. Anyway, I'd like to check this show out but I can't seem to find it. I only have time for a few shows a day because of my schedule and because I am not allowed to be on the site at work and stuff, and so I don't have time to go through everything. I am really more curious to see if WGI was able to minimize the number of drops that made it on to the tape. The last time I attended WGI, I remember a show that had several very exposed drops, but when I watched the show the other day, I only saw one thanks to the magic of camera work and editing. Anyway, I know it's a weird question... thanks if anyone can think of what this show might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrfctTimeOfDay Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Fantasia 2003 ...and it was a lot more than 8 drops; it was well into the teens. The cartwheel sequence alone was 5 drops (only 1 person caught.) That said, the video is edited VERY well to mask a lot of the mistakes. You had to be there live to really see them explode. But, it was a great show...and they did finish in 3rd with the bronze. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ordsw24 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 I never understood why a guard's better performance from championships couldn't be its official video for that year, as lots of guards over the years have undoubtedly had a much better prelims show than finals.
