When she lands the spin, it is black plastic. 17069 During the movie, Doug watches video from the previous Olympic competition. The skaters are shown performing in a darkened arena lit by spotlights. Special lighting effects like this are not allowed in competition.

The nails change position several times. 34961 In the scene at the end where they do the Pamchenko in competition it appears to be an impossible move.
