In Italy no anyone will bordcast Skate Canada... Anyone have a streaming (without needing VPN)?

I just noticed that the ISU ended their partnership with Eurovision :(. Check their YouTube channel (just use random locations until one works)

Well that sucks, mostly for the other sports than figure skating in my case..

ISU official youtube channel is broadcasting Grand Prix this season with no commentary...

 

Apparently the deal with Eurovision failed, so this was a last-ditch effort to keep skating available to the masses...

Incredibly sad they don't have a European-wide broadcasting deal...

 

It's incredibly difficult to watch figure skating in the United States, too.

From what I read, a deal also failed with CBC, which sounds quite astonishing.

 

However, it's good to see that ISU very much intends to keep skating available to everyone. Apparently their youtube channel will also broadcast speed skating and short track events and championships. At least until some deal is made.

Sure sounds like the ISU was offering unreasonable terms. Not being able to get the CBC on board is astonishing.

Not if you pay the $40 Ice Sports pass for NBC. However if you want to watch all Skiing and Biathlon, you will of course need the $70 Snow Pass for NBC. You will also need a cable TV provider to gain access to either meaning th watch winter sports in the US, you pay around $300 a season

Well aware, paid the 70$ for the snow pass last season. It was a sub-par product at best, sticking to Eurosport this season.

    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
