That hasn't been my experience. I have always been able to click on the expired tile and have it say "replay available soon" - until today. It's back now.

Yes, women's short was taken down and then restored. Now the men's short tile has disappeared. I hope that gets restored too. Whoever is in charge of the figure skating tiles must be new - I hope.

As of now, mine says there is only 4 hours left to watch - that matches with about midnight, eastern time. Just checked pairs - that one says 2 days. There must be some rights issue with some of the music for women's.

I don't know any more than you do. I corrected my post accordingly. Good to hear about the practices. Thanks

The announcement on US Figure Skating says - All-session tickets for championship-level competition. Not only does it not say anything about junior, it does not say anything about practice either. Did someone mention "growing a fan base"?

Something to think about. However, given historical attendance figures for Nationals the year after an Olympics, I don't think that will be a problem. Anyone who does try scalping with the first 2 rows of tickets may find themselves selling at a loss. I remember someone being worried they...

Since novice will be part of the U.S. Figure Skating Development Team Championships the previous week, I think they will have to restructure the way they price those competitions. Thanks for the reminder about the All-event ticket

The end zone at the Maverick center is not bad. I sat there for SOI a few years ago and it was fine. There's not really a nosebleed problem at the Maverick Center. I don't remember that there is a problem with obstructed viewing either (unless it's with NBC cameras etc.).

The Maverick Center will also be the home of figure skating for the Olympics in 2034. It is a smaller arena but very well suited for skating events with good sight lines. Spectators are down by the ice and not up 10 feet. I have no problem sitting in the seats and the stairs are not too...

I note that everything except the Women's Free and the Gala have disappeared from Peacock. Womens free will probably disappear tomorrow evening.

I always go back to his "smaller" movies - The Stone Boy, Tender Mercies (a particular favorite) The Chase And his first appearance on the big screen as Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird

I don't see any training or Pairs warm-up listed for Feb. 16th.
