Skating Storage

Independent ice dance element archive

About SkatingStorage

SkatingStorage is a searchable archive of ice dance elements inside full competition videos. The goal is to make it easier to find examples of specific element types, scores, teams, and competitions without scrubbing through entire events.

What It Includes

  • Official element calls, base values, GOE, and element scores when available from protocols.
  • Human-reviewed or accepted timestamps for each public element.
  • Search filters by season, competition, level, team, element type, score, and favorites.
  • Judge-by-judge GOE details when the official protocol data has been entered.
  • Shareable reel building for saving selected elements into a simple playback list.

What It Is Not

  • SkatingStorage is not an official ISU, IOC, federation, or event site.
  • It does not replace official protocols, rulebooks, or technical panel decisions.
  • Public playback currently uses source video timestamps rather than hosted clips.
  • Reels are timestamp playlists, not downloadable edited videos.
  • Timing boundaries are practical study references, not official element start or end rulings.

Why It Exists

Ice dance elements are difficult to study from long event replays. SkatingStorage organizes programs into short, searchable element references so skaters, coaches, fans, and researchers can compare examples more efficiently.

Editorial Responsibility

SkatingStorage is built and maintained by Ethan Peal through Envision Digital LLC. Ethan is responsible for the product, public-data ingestion, guide writing, and final editorial review. This attribution identifies who is accountable for the material; it is not a claim that SkatingStorage is an official federation or technical panel.

Editorial guides separate source facts from SkatingStorage's own explanation. Official calls, scores, and judge marks stay linked to their protocols. Current-rule summaries link to the applicable ISU or federation publication, and season-specific statements name their season so historical examples are not presented as current rules.

Corrections are reviewed against the cited protocol, source video, or rules document before the public record is changed. Readers can report a correction or sourcing concern.

How Labels Are Made

  1. Identify the event, season, level, segment, source video, and official protocol.
  2. Enter the official executed elements in protocol order, including calls, scores, and judge marks when available.
  3. Estimate video start and end times from the actual program footage.
  4. Review and correct timings manually. Public data only includes elements marked accepted or corrected.
  5. Use source video timestamps for public playback unless rights-cleared clips are available privately.

A timestamp is meant to open the source video at a useful study point for the element. It may include a small lead-in or exit when that makes the element easier to understand. It is not an official technical panel boundary.

How Guides Are Reviewed

  1. Define a narrow question the page should answer.
  2. Select only public records with traceable protocol or catalog sources.
  3. Write original context that explains the data's meaning and limitations.
  4. Link current technical statements to primary rules documents.
  5. Check the generated page on desktop and mobile before publication.
  6. Record the published and reviewed dates and provide a correction route.

A page may be updated when source records change, a timestamp is corrected, or a new season replaces the technical context. The page's reviewed date reflects the latest source-backed build rather than an automatic promise that every external document is unchanged.
