You know, so true. Skating fans are blessed these days with the streaming tech we have. When I first started watching skating (late 70s) we only got one hour shows on ABC Wide World of Sports of Nationals and Worlds. Only the top skaters. And ice dance? We only ever saw our #1 team in the USA and every 4 years we could see our lower ranked teams at the Olympics. It's truly amazing to me to be able to see so many skaters and even though I can be critical of lower ranked teams, it really is a blessing to be able to see pretty much everyone that's skating these days. From so many countries.I think I may be the only person who genuinely likes most of the programs this season. But also, I will check off from the bingo card my favorite thing to say at this point in this season which is that they're not training to peak in November, they're training to peak in February. We used in the olden times (at least most of us) not to even see these early competitions so skaters had time to work things out.
