That was horrible. Could have done without the slow motion replays. She caught her arm in a gate and that was it. The commentators are saying it was surprising her skis didn't automatically come off and that wouldn't have helped in the crash.

This seems likely. An oversight that could have been avoided, but highly likely. Same here. Rinks and other public venues pay money to APRA (Australian Performing Rights Association) to cover music (e.g. at public sessions). Unfortunately, the bottom line of all this is that the skaters...

No, I'm 99% sure there are no special rights for the Olympics, but the Olympics has a significantly larger TV audience than any other skating event. So there' s potential there for the big record labels (e.g. your Warner Music or Sony Music) to not be that worried about their artists' work being...

Dammit. I missed that when I was deciding what to listen to when I got on the exercise bike today! But as I'm only just now watching ep.1 of the doco that's probably just as well.

I've watched the first episode. It promises exactly the same formula as previous seasons, which is fine. It's pleasant nonsense.

Bookish is great! I am really hoping they make more episodes. Ep.3 of Star Fleet Academy was better than ep.2 although I still feel like it's in the setting up the characters stage. The plot was pretty unoriginal, and the student characters quite two dimensional, but it's worth it for Holly...

It said it had expired, but the link Alilou pointed out in the other thread worked so I've read it now! Thanks for posting. :)

Is there a link that isn't behind a paywall? Or can someone quote some highlights?

Okay, I was right to listen before I'd finished watching, as it confirmed I wasn't missing anything by skipping the women's short program completely and going straight to watching the last two groups of the free (and by 'watching' I mean having the replay on my iPad while I worked.

I was surprised how much I enjoyed the first episode. I was so meh about Discovery that I didn't have high hopes for something set in the same part of the franchise, but I really liked it. I was less keen on the second episode but they're still in set up stage and it was fine, just not as good...

Hmmmm. Do I listen tomorrow or wait until I've seen the rest of Europeans....Decisions.

That is very depressing. I used to sometimes skate on the same sessions as Matilda (when she was with her partner before Badaoui) and she was small and I have no idea what she would feel the need to hide!

That is awesome news to this long-time fan (Torvill and Dean were the skaters who piqued my interest in skating). About time some more niche sports people were recognised in the Honours list for the major investittures.

I liked her skating, but yes, basics and artistry in comparison to others were lacking. I do give her credit for working on the weaker aspects of he skating though. The very first competition I saw her skate in (can't remember what it was but she was still a teenager and I think had her hair in...

The original from season 1 is still the best, but this one is acceptable.
