I wonder why the ISU live channel blocks Hong Kong since last season. I used to be able to watch the GPs live with that channel. Whether or not Hong Kong is considered part of China, fact is we do not have reception of the Chinese channel that carries the events (CCTV5).

All those unofficial live streams always freeze.

Ooh, I need to watch that. It'd be good Italian practice, and goodness knows I need all I can get. Thanks, @Sylvia.

For the Shibs video, that's the most I've ever seen Marina speak about them.

I feel you . I used to watch all live on the ISU channel until this season where Latin American is geoblocked and I wonder who is the greedy network that bought the rights and never bothered to broadcast them. At least they're on demand so I watch unspoiled but with delay.

Are they? I can't even do that! Maybe it's my ad-block?!

I also think that they should still have live streaming available in countries where the coverage is delayed by more than a day or two. SBS in Australia won't start showing 4CC until 4 March (and then we get an hour a week, each Saturday, one for each discipline), but we're still geoblocked from the ISU live stream.

 

[SamuraiK]

Are they? I can't even do that! Maybe it's my ad-block?!

Well yes, if for instance the SP is scheduled in the morning I can watch the archives by night of the same day . Not sure if its the same for all countries though.

@Sylvia ....while watching the Olympic Channel coverage this morning of 2017 Cup of China (after the pairs SP concluded), watched an interesting piece on Mae Berencie Meite, and the science of skating, specifically the physiology. Couldn't find a link online to that content. You are so good at searching out material...... any chance you could post the link?

 

[Sylvia]

@B.Cooper, I looked for the segment you mentioned on the Olympic Channel website and Olympic YouTube channel but didn't see it. Maybe it will be uploaded at a later date. I assume it could be a part of this series that launched earlier in the year? https://olympicchannelservices.com/...class-physiques-in-the-new-series-anatomy-of/

7:30-8:00PM Anatomy Of 'Rower & Figure Skater' - vague here, but says 'An Olympic rower and figure skater are analyzed'

I assume this tweet is somehow related to the episode? https://twitter.com/JAdP/status/926597482699677696

I watched it too! I thought it was fascinating. Mae is quite the athlete!

I just came across this 8-minute Olympic Channel feature on Polina Edmunds: https://www.olympicchannel.com/en/p...es-university-studies-and-her-olympic-dreams/

It looks like it was filmed back in May 2017 - 2 photos from Rudy Galindo's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BT40WTflfH0/?taken-by=rudyvalgalindo

Javier Fernandez (ESP): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAMLY83TYqM

Shows why Javi is so loved and so lovable...

Mae Berenice Meite (she sings!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEsxT_HnXFA

Mae-Berenice has a lovely voice and a sweet personality!

Here's James/Cipres:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFWJT8xdrGQ
I've seen this J/C Wait-What feature before, but it's always a pleasure watching these two interact together. Morgan is is so sexy and sweet. Vanessa has a beautiful smile, and unlike Javi, Vanessa didn't need a pen and paper to quickly answer the math question!

 

[Bellanca]

These features are great! Nice to get a glimpse of an athlete's personality that may otherwise remain elusive, in a sense. Good stuff to check out for fans and supporters.

 

[SCeline]

Hoping the Olympic channel continues to pursue more of these long-form interviews
