  • Gutsy Performance in Sochi
    Recitation E Gutsy Performance in Sochi One of Japan’s most popular athletes should have known she couldn’t leave quietly. Mao Asada’s press conference Wednesday to officially announce her retirement from figure skating attracted some 350 journalists and was telecast live across Japan. Asada had led the country’s figure skating scene since her teens with her trademark triple axel. She started skating at the age of five and won world championships in 2008, 2010 and 2014 . Her illustrious career also included a silver medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Asada, who announced her retirement from her 21-year career on her blog two days ago, occupied a special place in the Japanese sports landscape. Her popularity far exceeded that of other figure skaters, even those with more gold medals. At Wednesday’s press conference, Asada called her performance in the free skating event at the 2014 Sochi Olympics her most memorable. “It’s difficult to pick just one,” Asada said. “But the free skating in Sochi definitely stands out.” She placed 16th in the short program in Sochi after falling on her triple Axel, under-rotating a triple flip, and doubling a triple loop. But in a stirring free skate Asada rebounded, earning a personal best score of 142.71. This made her the third woman to score above the 140 mark after Yuna Kim’s 2010 Olympics score and Yulia Lipnitskaya’s 2014 Olympics team event score. It placed Asada third in the free skating and sixth overall. Even though she didn’t win a medal, it was a performance that many will never forget.

    Journal of Sports Analytics 4 (2018) 215–227 215 DOI 10.3233/JSA-170148 IOS Press What if a figure skating team event had been held at past Winter Olympic Games? An analysis of a hypothetical competition Diana Chenga and Peter Coughlinb,∗ aDepartment of Mathematics, Towson University, Towson, Maryland, USA bDepartment of Economics, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA Abstract. A new figure skating competition was introduced at the 2014 Winter Olympic Games (WOG) – the team event. The introduction of this new competition raises questions of what would have happened if a team event had been contested in past WOG. This paper develops a method for determining which teams might have earned medals if the team event had been held in the past, and applies the method to a hypothetical competition for 2010. This paper also identifies relative contributions of skaters to their countries’ teams in the hypothetical competition. These methods can be useful for fans and for electors who vote on candidates for figure skating halls of fame. Keywords: Olympics, skating, hypothetical event, player evaluation 1.

  • My Experiences with Body Image and Eating Disorders in Figure Skating
    My Experiences with Body Image and Eating Disorders in Figure Skating By Emma M. Chinault A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University Honors Program University of South Florida St. Petersburg May 5, 2019 Thesis Director: Janet Keeler, Professor, Journalism and Digital Communication University Honors Program University of South Florida St. Petersburg 2 Abstract This is a personal reflection of my experiences with an eating disorder and body image issues that I have dealt with throughout my figure skating career. I reflect on body dysmorphia issues, my obsession with the scale, the realization that I had an eating disorder, and my journey to heal. These experiences, stories, pictures, and journal entries are used to show how relevant these issues are in the figure skating world and give hope and inspiration to other athletes that have gone through similar struggle. I discuss how these issues are prevalent throughout the sport of figure skating and discuss other people’s personal experiences with eating disorders, body image issues, and weight loss issues in the sport. I address how figure skating brings on these body issues and why they are seen more often in aesthetic sports. I also discuss what could be done to make a difference in the sport so that young teenagers can still participate without having to experience eating disorders or feeling like they need to lose weight. Keywords: Figure skating, eating disorders, body image, binge eating 3 Introduction When you lose something that defines you, something that you love, something that you’ve spent your entire life doing, you lose all sense of self and sense of direction in life.

  • What Teachers Should Know About the Bootstrap: Resampling in the Undergraduate Statistics Curriculum
    What Teachers Should Know about the Bootstrap: Resampling in the Undergraduate Statistics Curriculum Tim Hesterberg Google [email protected] November 20, 2014 Abstract I have three goals in this article: (1) To show the enormous potential of bootstrapping and permutation tests to help students understand statistical concepts including sampling distributions, standard errors, bias, confidence intervals, null distributions, and P -values. (2) To dig deeper, understand why these methods work and when they don't, things to watch out for, and how to deal with these issues when teaching. (3) To change statistical practice|by comparing these methods to common t tests and intervals, we see how inaccurate the latter are; we confirm this with asymptotics. n ≥ 30 isn't enough|think n ≥ 5000. Resampling provides diagnostics, and more accurate alternatives. Sadly, the common bootstrap percentile interval badly under-covers in small samples; there are better alternatives. The tone is informal, with a few stories and jokes. arXiv:1411.5279v1 [stat.OT] 19 Nov 2014 Keywords: Teaching, bootstrap, permutation test, randomization test 1 Contents 1 Overview 3 1.1 Notation . .4 2 Introduction to the Bootstrap and Permutation Tests 5 2.1 Permutation Test . .6 2.2 Pedagogical Value . .6 2.3 One-Sample Bootstrap . .8 2.4 Two-Sample Bootstrap . .9 2.5 Pedagogical Value . 12 2.6 Teaching Tips . 13 2.7 Practical Value . 13 2.8 Idea behind Bootstrapping . 15 3 Variation in Bootstrap Distributions 20 3.1 Sample Mean, Large Sample Size: . 20 3.2 Sample Mean: Small Sample Size . 22 3.3 Sample Median . 24 3.4 Mean-Variance Relationship .

  • Advanced Wk 43 Sports and Competition 3
    12 socket , THEME: Sports and Competition ADVANCED 43 FUNCTION: Discuss the toll of sports on athletes ENGLISH Success of Russia’s Female Figure Skaters Takes a Toll in Injuries and Stress (Jeré Longman, NY Times, Feb 2018) The figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva of Russia and her training partner, Alina Zagitova, 15, are widely expected to win two of the three available medals in women’s singles skating at the Winter Games and are expected to make Russia a gold medal favorite in the team competition. But no longer does Medvedeva appear invincible. And neither does Russian skating. On the ice, Medvedeva was a maturing artist and an innovative technician who performed with ruthless consistency. When she fell on a double Axel jump at the Moscow competition in October, no one was more stunned than Medvedeva herself. She called the spill “a moral weakness.” “I let out my joy too early,” she said.
