How do commentators know the routine of a figure skating program before hand?

-

there number of ways:

1) skater submits planned program sheet, technical specialists use in calling program.
2) announcers former skaters, can recognize setup , execution of elements.
3) skaters typically perform same routines entire season, it's been seen before.
4) media , spectators have access practice sessions, watch beforehand.
5) except live broadcasts, announcers' commentary added after actual skating over; lets announcer watch , make notes before being recorded.

after event, isu posts judges scoring results, shows elements in detail. it's interesting read through , see why results came out way did: can see jumps downgraded because of underrotation, edge calls on lutzes flutzed, , 10% bonus jumps done towards end of program.

peter carruthers gets flustered when calls element in advance , skater doesn't what's on cheat sheet. can imagine him checking sheets/teleprompter make sure he's reading right place. tara lipinski has been doing excellent job of announcing , understands ijs scoring implications. example, skater supposed triple flip-double toe jump @ french grand prix last weekend. did triple flip, later added double toe jump combination successfully. lipinski recognized switch , called immediately, pointing out how let skater (some of) lost points thinking on feet. great added information.

russian tv commentary different us, it's more golf announcing hushed tones , minimal remarks during program. talk storm before/after skating, can enjoy program , music moreso announcers. (lipinski , tanith belbin both @ keeping comments minimum.)

wish, however, nbc use sap let viewers listen program music without announcers. it's different experience.

do skaters announce do?

Is there such thing called a winged spider?

-
of all's answers comical, least. however, have clarify things amateur biologists, here. arachnids classified such having 2 segments bodies, not number of legs.solpugids arachnids, yet have ten legs, , no venom. solpugids include such animals "sun spiders" , "camel spiders" (which massive, , qualify writers call "nightmare fuel"... trust me... few tours in iraq, have seen several of these things). insects have 3 segments bodies. insects have 4 legs... 6-legged flying instects have 8 (yep... wings count "legs") or 10, depending on number of wings. pic in question, photoshopped, sure. no species of arachnid has wings. , if closely, hymenoptera wings.... bee wings, actually. if recall opening monologue "bee movie" (shut up... have kids), you'd recall line says "wings small, , wrong shape", or words effect. if bee can barely manage flight, spider similar wings wouldn't able waft own farts (if spider digestive...
