um ok folks let think about this.... she has a sign language coach to let her know when they say her name. We have already seen this coach a few times. And second deaf athletes are given other options for cues as far as music and sound goes. A deaf swimmer in the olympics was given a strobe light that would go off when the buzzer for the other swimmers went off. I'm sure it would be something close to that.
@93Kristennn She doesn't. What she probably does is memorize and stick closely to the timing of the choreography, and hope that it goes with the music.
The girl who plays Diana, Aimee Walker, is actually deaf and blind in one eye. And she's on the gymnastics team at UCLA. She's also married. I think she's amazing, even if she didn't have the deafness and blindness. Her floor routine was OUTSTANDING.
@bbhouk1 But learning everything would be extremely difficult. You can't hear what your coach is telling you. Also, the girl who plays Diana is deaf and blind in one eye, which screws up your depth perception. You have no idea how hard it is to jump around with no depth perception.
@bbhouk1 Then why would you say it would be to her advantage? Sure, it would be nice not to hear the crowd, but learning everything would be about ten times as hard.
I like how Dana's mother is supportive even when her landing on vault is so bad. All she says is "Aww, c'mon Dana!" instead of being a b*tch to her like the coach is.
I looked it up; unlike the kid who played Katie, the girl who played the deaf gymnast is actually deaf and blind in one eye *and* was an elite level gymnast. They said that they chose music with simple beats for her and told her when to start. I'm guessing that she did it mostly by counting to keep on the beat.
I know Vanessa Atler was Courtney Peldon who plays Katie's stunt double but I find it funny how Katie's beam routine is similar to the one Vanessa Atler's uses in real life competitions.
they copyrighted the song at the beginning and they only check the first 30 seconds teh song was at the end of the 6th part but at the beginning of the 7th so i guess we are sol fucking youtube
Why on earth is the competition done in spotlights? No serious gymnastics competition is done like that-you're not even allowed to use flash while taking photos...
deaf/hard of hearing people hear/feel the vibrations and count. Im deaf in one ear and slightly hard of hearing in the other ear, but i heavily rely on the beats and rhythmn of the music when I perform (Im a dancer)
there are special arrangements for death/hard of hearing gymnasts. they have a light and a count down on a board... they know when to start, and then they just know exactly what rythm to have in their routine. which is why i was really pissed off to see rosa galieva leave the arena in tears in the AA in 1996, because she couldn't hear the music over the cheering crowd. she was a professional, she shouldn't have needed the music.
she's not an elite gymnast, but this movie gives the right insight of how hard elite gymnasts have to work to get that far. I was an elite gymnast for a couple of years. But I had an accident on the bars :-S and broke my back.
exactly and in the beginning he was the one pushing for her to go to this coach and the mom was a bit resistant, how roles have switched.. interesting.
I think the name "Little Girls in Pretty Boxes" is really expressive 'cos these girls are shown to the whole world as the well-built, muscular and beautiful elite gymnasts. Yet, only a few people know how much struggle and pain they go through to be that way.
thanks. i've seen it. it's certainly better than this one. btw, sandra, i still think the title has very little to do with the content of this film. that would have been a better title for a movie on pageant girls. i understand what they were trying to say, but the only thing about this movie that's interesting *is* the title. :P
i luv how they r supposed to be elite and r doing the vaults 7 year olds do haha... but the pain part of this movie is real..my friend gets shots in her back because of her pain and her mom still makes her do gym=(
OOH LOL you mean the front handsprings in the vaults...oh on that part I think she was Actually trying to do another vault but strained her back. AND one does that simple vault often to warm up even as an Elite.
I always assumed that she was going for a front handspring front or something and freaked out and stopped in the middle because of the pain. I've done that before and it sucks because not only are you in pain but your score ends up being really low due to missed element
i hate how she only has 2 tumbling passes in her routine. and they make it seem like only one person goes at once cause like everyone is watching just her.
Deaf ppl can feel the sound on the floor and all around them its a feeling like as if it where vibrating
