The subject is an extremely beautiful lady from Uzbekistan, and she dances very well. If there was a competition for the best dress costume, I would certainly vote for her to be in the finals.
When we talk of the IDSF Dress regulations, the immediate thing that comes into your mind are the Latin American dance athletes. More often than not we train our guns at the female dancers and sometimes the male.
Seldom does this subject is trained at Standard Dancers. In the preliminary rounds, the subject wore the white costume. As you can see the costume is skin colored, and I think all of you knows that by any stretch of your active imagination, she is not naked. Those decorative appliques only enhances the dress.
What I was given to understand was the chief adjudicator told the Uzbekistan Team coach that the dress did not comply with the IDSF Dress Regulation and as such she had to change to the black costume as you can see below.
Is IDSF being sticky in the interpretation of the Dress Regulations? I really do not know, and I would certainly like to hear your opinion. Let's not be kind, if the dress rules sucks, say so, and we can bring this up to the IDSF top guns to perhaps review in the interpretation of the Dress regulations. IDSF rules are not carved in stone, they evolves and they are not afraid of criticism to improve themselves. Let's be constructive and let's bring this up to them to think about it.
I am not sure what to think about it, on the one hand I understand the need to regulate rules of sports, on the other hand I do not want interpretation of rules to be so strictly that it borders the rediculous.
