 Dubbed "the male Brigitte Bardot," the French actor starred in 'The Leopard,' 'Le Samouraï,' 'The Red Circle' and as Tom Ripley in 'Purple Noon.' Alain Delon, the dark and dashing leading man from France who starred in some of the greatest European films of the 1960s and ’70s, has died. He was 88. “Alain Fabien, Anouchka, Anthony, as well as (his dog) Loubo, are deeply saddened to announce the passing of their father. He passed away peacefully in his home in Douchy, surrounded by his three children and his family,”  a statement from the family released to AFP news agency said. With a filmography boasting such titles as Luchino Visconti’s Rocco and His Brothers (1960) and The Leopard (1963), René Clément’s Purple Noon (1960), Michelangelo Antonioni’s The Eclipse (1962), Joseph Losey’s Mr. Klein (1976) and Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samouraï (1967) and The Red Circle (1970), Delon graced several art ho...

Ice dancers to intentionally fall during the Olympics

-

 It is not common for ice dancers to intentionally fall during the Olympics or any other competitive event. In fact, falls are typically detrimental to their scores and are generally avoided. Here's why:

Scoring System

  1. Deductions: Falls in ice dancing result in mandatory deductions from the judges. The International Skating Union (ISU) has clear rules regarding falls, which include point deductions that negatively impact the overall score .
  2. Impact on Performance Scores: Falls disrupt the flow of the performance and can affect the technical and artistic components of the score. This includes deductions for both the execution of elements and the overall performance quality .

                

Strategy and Risk Management

  1. Risk Management: While ice dancers may perform complex and risky maneuvers, they train extensively to execute these elements cleanly. The objective is to maximize their technical score without incurring penalties for falls .
  2. Recovery Strategies: Ice dancers are trained to recover quickly from unexpected falls to minimize the impact on their performance, but this is different from intentionally falling.

Possible Misconceptions

  1. Choreographic Intent: There might be instances where choreographic elements involve controlled descents or movements that could be mistaken for falls. These are intentional parts of the routine and are executed with precision to enhance the artistic expression, but they are not actual falls .

Examples and Precedents

  1. Historical Incidents: In rare cases, falls have occurred in high-profile competitions, but they are usually accidental and result in significant consequences for the skaters involved. Historical examples include incidents where skaters have fallen and still managed to perform well due to their overall excellence in other areas of their routine.

In summary, intentional falls are not a strategy in competitive ice dancing. Falls are generally accidental and result in penalties that skaters strive to avoid. The emphasis in ice dancing is on precision, control, and the seamless execution of complex movements to maximize scoring potential.
