Thank God the old results system exists. I was worried I'd have to figure out who the lions or w/e name a country corresponded too

Arianna Fontana will not take part in the first World Cup stage, but will return in the American stage. This weekend she will take part in the Italian speed skating trials.

Maybe the ISU did read my email. So the first day of the brand new World Tour event the 'Where to Watch' page https://www.isu.org/short-track/media/wtw/ is showing a 404 error. Oh dear.

 

 

 

 

BUT good news, because they now have live streams scheduled on their YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/@SkatingISU/streams

The new graphics are really beautiful and intuitive. Otherwise, the antics of the nicknames are practically invisible, the NOCs continue to be represented, at least in the morning sessions

[heywoodu 15,997]

Are commentators in your countries using these weird nickname stuff? I hear the English-language commentator in the background (maybe the stadium speaker?) talk about the Latvian Golden Stars and 'Jens van 't Wout of the Dutch Lions' and stuff, but Dutch commentator just says "Kruzbergs of Latvia, Park of South Korea" etc  

 

Luckily

Graphics seem...fine, I guess. Same as they were, just now it's with some sort of comic style and more focused on being 'flashy' instead of being useful. I guess it's more urban or something.

Luckily  

as usual, there's no Italian commentary, only environmental sound (they say there's also an English speaking audio track, but it's mute, there's the ambient sound also there)
