Answering your uploaded question (including the scoring timeline and deep touch-by-touch review)
First, establish what happened.
We identify the athlete and their side of the piste, review the question submitted with the video, and reconstruct the score timeline. Within the available footage, we review scoring touches, conceded touches and doubles—not just losses. Score corrections and non-touch points are recorded separately.
Opponent-specific tactical analysis and decisions
Connect individual touches to recurring decisions.
We examine distance, timing, blade work and responses across the reviewed touches. We describe the opponent’s tendencies observed in this video, then build decision branches for the athlete: what to recognise, which response to choose, and when to change it.
Athlete technical performance profile for this bout
Understand the performance shown in this bout.
We assess the athlete’s preparation, distance, blade control and finishing decisions against the reviewed actions. We identify effective techniques to retain and patterns that need correction. The assessment stays within this video’s evidence and sample size; it is not a fixed judgement of the athlete’s overall ability.
Findings supported by key evidence
Make the reasoning traceable.
Findings link back to reviewed timestamps, clips or frames. We separate visible facts from tactical interpretation. Missing footage, obscured actions and unclear blade contact remain marked as uncertain; we do not fill gaps with confident guesses.
Training tasks
Turn the review into something to practise.
Training tasks specify the situation to recreate, the action to practise and measurable success criteria. Each task retains its source evidence so the athlete can understand both what to practise and why it matters.
Evidence limits and human review
The report states what the footage covers and what cannot be determined. An independent supported-findings section appears only when evidence supports it. A high-level coach or athlete reviews the report before it is published to your private account, with an email notification. The web report and PDF follow the same analysis structure and content.
