Ice Diaries - Factual Errors

Factual Errors

  • The series repeatedly refers to Rucker as the defending champion. This is not the case. Rucker was the 2005 Champion on the junior level. Had she been the defending senior champion, she would not have had to qualify for the championships.
  • The series also glosses over competitions that were not on the Grand Prix or national qualifying competitions. Liang, for example, began her season at the Nebelhorn Trophy, not Skate America.

Famous quotes containing the words factual and/or errors:

    ... But all the feelings that evoke in us the joy or the misfortune of a real person are only produced in us through the intermediary of an image of that joy or that misfortune; the ingeniousness of the first novelist was in understanding that, in the apparatus of our emotions, since the image is the only essential element, the simplification which consists of purely and simply suppressing the factual characters is a definitive improvement.
    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    Here among the mountains the pinions of thought should be strong, and one should see the errors of men from a calmer height of love and wisdom.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
