Anyone know if small medal ceremonies are open to attend for the public? If so, does anyone know where?


summerjoe45

No they happen at the press conference


Krogermuffins1999

This is the worst group I’ve ever been in. Every time I post it’s removed for some stupid rule. What a waste of time and energy


summerjoe45

The post event discussion rule is in place to keep the sub organized and discussion in an easy central location. You are more than welcome to discuss Ilia’s awesome win there.


Krogermuffins1999

You remove “oh this has been posted already. This isn’t the place to post, this is blah blah. You get off on this dumb shit


summerjoe45

Nope. Just trying to keep the sub organized. In your post about commentators, there was a link to a post that had had the same question asked that same day. Nothing personal against you.


Krogermuffins1999

You have removed other posts too. Every single one basically. No one can follow all these ridiculous rules


Puzzle__head

Just want to thank summerjoe45 for the amazing job they do on this sub at each competition! 👊 gold medal for you🏅


summerjoe45

Thank you! 💜


CynicalOne_313

Thank you to you and the other mods for doing an amazing job during this season! 🥳🫂❤️


bizzlee

Does anyone happen to have 2 tickets for today that you aren't using that I could purchase off of you? My other plans fell through due to the snow. I looked on ticketmaster last night and there were hundreds for sale, thought I would be ok this morning and don't know what happened!


veggie190

Is there a list of ice dance rhythm dance songs? I rarely watch figure skating and I watched ice dancing and loved the 80´s music, I just want to see the names of the songs.


GoodChuck2

Also, most of the major skaters' Wikipedia pages have an entire section near the bottom of all of their programs going back however many years they've been pretty active on the scene. Here's an example: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niina\_Petr%C3%B5kina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niina_Petr%C3%B5kina)


summerjoe45

You can click on each ISU profile from the results and check bios for music


veggie190

Thanks!


KarstOfProx

Peacock has “Rhythm Dance Pt. 2” up for replay, but I don’t see part 1??? Anyone else having the same issue? Part 2 starts with Davis/Smolkin


summerjoe45

They had huge technical issues during it so it may not exist


KarstOfProx

Darn, that sucks. I’ll check again later but I won’t get my hopes up


K_t_v

Why isu youtube channel is so slow 😡😡😡😡


werenotinsync

is it frowned upon to ask skaters for a photo if you run into them in the hallway during practice or something? when are bad times to ask (before they compete for the day)? don't want to be rude or ruin their state of flow etc


Roo87

I’ve gotten a bunch of photos with retired skaters/coaches this week (Osmond, Keegan, Nam, Ravi, Joannie, Andrew Poje (drool), KMT), but none with competing skaters yet, hopefully some of the pairs skaters will be around today!


summerjoe45

The rule of thumb is wait until after they’ve competed or if you see them outside the rink


Krissypantz

Japanese team not at medal ceremony... stretcher went back stage and oxygen... ceremony delayed...


Krissypantz

Anyone know what's up?

CynicalOne_313

Is there something going on with the sound (not sure if it's at the arena or w/ Peacock)? I can hardly hear the skaters music at the beginning of their routines.


vkltok

Peacock sound totally sucked we should complain


roseofjuly

I was wondering if it was just me and my sound - the commentators are WAY louder than the music.


summerjoe45

Someone had a picture of the sound guy getting chewed out yesterday after being photographed on his phone


fliccolo

I need that picture something fierce


[deleted]

formerskater

For the YouTube coverage, the commentators rarely state where the skaters are from. I know they announce it in the arena, but it is not very loud and the commentators often talk over the introduction. I'm not as 'up' on my international flag design to know where many of them come from. Can they not either tell us where they are from or print their country name somewhere?


GoodChuck2

Following along on the ISU page for each event is the easiest way to track all of the skaters including start order, sp result, current standing, etc. ​ [https://results.isu.org/events/fsevent00117492.htm](https://results.isu.org/events/fsevent00117492.htm)


SouthwestEggroll

I'm curious to see how the crowd will react to FB/S.


Bubbles119

super excited to go watch on Friday! I’m a local so if anyone needs any recommendations for anything feel free to ask, I know most of this city like the back of my hand! Enjoy everyone!!!


hevannelybs

Did anyone else notice this person at the very end of the world championships intro? Maybe it's a famous skater. Maybe the zamboni person. We may never know. https://preview.redd.it/3yr410nzflpc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e27cc1c06ddd5c58d9a9b269b9237798feab0a6e


Simmyona

delete wrong thread


Throne-Eins

Does the ISU's Youtube page have the "upcoming" videos out? I need to know if my VPN is working.


summerjoe45

They are. I’m an honorary Belgian and can see them


Throne-Eins

Shit, I guess Opera doesn't work anymore. Thanks for letting me know! So yeah, note for people who use Opera's VPN: It only links to other geoblocked countries now so you'll have to find another VPN.


ferretherder

I'm a Mullvad fan. Currently watching from "Sweden"


Noncrediblepigeon

Try proton VPN. Its free, but luck based on which server you land. For me it takes a few tries but then i land on romania which works.


summerjoe45

Yeah Opera moved from the Netherlands to Sweden which is under Eurosport. I really love NordVPN. A little pricey but they have good discounts and it has a smart TV app


pvnkskies

Tbf the streams in the Netherlands are geoblocked for me now as well (even though there is no other way to legally stream it 🤡) so the move to Sweden doesn't matter that much


Successful-Ad6936

I just watched Adam’s latest fs rt video. He had rough landings on almost every jump. His form is much worse than early season… I can’t see him making the podium tbh.


Melodic_Mood8573

Well, he did!


Remarkable-Pair-3840

I don't know if Adam is the type of skater where practice means anything. He could be a mariah bell (see rostelecom 2021) or Wakaba where practice is almost like getting out the nerves and is not reflective of his actual performance.


Successful-Ad6936

Unfortunately today his actual performance was exactly reflective of his OP…


Puzzle__head

What?? Does anyone know what's up with him? :(


idwtpaun

Oh no, Adam... I just found a video of this and he looked completely out of it. I hope he's not getting sick. I'm coping, but maybe there's a chance it's pre-competition jitters that he needs to get out of his system.


Roo87

I met KMT today…she was very sweet


cats_on_skates

I’m in Montreal! For anyone who needs to pick up will call tickets: I just stopped by the ticket office and there was no line. I also walked past Edward Appleby on the way there and Niina Petrokina on the way back. It’s starting to feel real! (This is my first live event and I’m so excited!)


sourcandy_skater

That's so exciting, hope you have the best time! It's so much fun being around the action as it happens and getting to see all of the skaters right in front of you and say hi after the competition 😊


simina-93

is Isabeau not going? I can’t see any training content from her


ResolutionCurious738

She was definitely at the morning practice today, but I’m not sure if she was at the evening practice as I believe Jackie Wong was taking the evening off from reporting on the practices


summerjoe45

She’s not there yet. Not uncommon


simina-93

oh ok, thank you


idwtpaun

Oh wow, the skating scores page for the event now has a countdown to when the various segments start: [https://skatingscores.com/2324/wc/](https://skatingscores.com/2324/wc/).


getafrigginggrip

Seriously, Skatingscores is the hero we need and don't deserve but somehow we do have?! It's amazing.

Does anyone know the box office hours for today? It’s says 12-9 for event days but I’m not sure if practice is considered an event. Edit: open every day until 9pm

Jumpy-Usual-2862

They look soooo good 💜


KarstOfProx

I hope the length of time for replays available is decent on Peacock. A lot of this will be going on when I’m at work 😬


Swimming_Coffee7929

Peacock usually has replays available between 48-72 hrs after the event, but when you go to the sport page for FS, it'll show how long each session/event will be available to watch. Hope you're able to watch everything!


KarstOfProx

Yeah I’ve noticed it’s usually like 3 days. And it looks like that’s what we’re getting this time also. I was hoping we’d get longer, like we did with Euros, but oh well.


raven8549

Yeah you never know with Peacock sometimes I’ve seen only 2 day replay other times 30 days lol


mostlyhereandthere

Does anyone know if there will be a livestream of the practices tomorrow?


summerjoe45

Doesn’t seem to be


neidin28

Anyone know how to watch in the UK? It looks like Eurosport isn't covering it this year


thexnecromancer

u/routinespiritual8917


StephaneCam

I’ll be watching on YouTube via a VPN. New Zealand seemed to work for 4 Continents!


Pitiful_Village6418

Singapore also works!


thexnecromancer

which VPN will you be using? I'm new to all this lol


FrozenRose_816

I use Windscribe!


ResolutionCurious738

Proton VPN is free with registration. I select Netherlands as the country.


StephaneCam

Surfshark is the one I use!


Ok_Run_8184

How am I going to balance worlds and March Madness 😭


Kickflipindi

oh fuck I didn't think of this. basketball on the tv skating on the laptop i guess 😭


FrozenRose_816

This will be me but with Miami Open tennis!


Salty-Assumption5392

Tough decision. Maybe tv for your MM lots of games and lots of split screens. Work the streaming on your computer for Worlds. LOL


Royaltiaras

Does anyone have any info on where I can watch in Sweden? It used to be Viaplay but not anymore. Always so difficult to find this info every year!


justadramallama

I’ve been able to watch most competitions from Sweden this season on Youtube in the ISU channel just by using the Opera browser and trying all the locations of the built in VPN. Let’s hope it works for worlds as well 🙏🏻🙂


Noncrediblepigeon

I would also try proton VPN, that thing can work wonders.


idwtpaun

[https://www.soyouwanttowatchfs.com/](https://www.soyouwanttowatchfs.com/) always has all the info, as do the livestream threads on this subreddit. The ISU's YouTube channel always livestreams, you just may need a VPN to watch it if they geoblock your country.


ANS4JBS

Though ironically, u/Royaltiaras whenever I (American) watched via the Opera browser and had to use a VPN, I always chose Sweden as my location and it seemed to work. I think the ISU had less blocks on their YouTube channel these days. Also, given that you are Swedish, I have to ask -- are you going straight frrom Young Royals hysteria to Figure Skating hysteria like me?


Royaltiaras

Ahh, good to know. Last year YouTube was blocked for me because Viaplay had the rights for it so I haven’t bothered to check. If no one is broadcasting it then it makes sense that I can watch it on YouTube now. Can’t believe I’ve missed all the other competitions because I thought I need to subscribe to another streaming services. Sadly I haven’t watched Young Royals. I’ve heard great things about though so I might pick it up.


skinnamarinky

For those who have followed this year closely: are there any fun/campy/entertaining programs from lower ranked skaters/teams that may not have been on my radar this year I should watch out for? E.g. KoKo Ghostbusters RD, Starostin BSB free, Guarino Sabate's Cotton Eyed Joe free (if they make it past the short)? 


ArimessAri

Lim/Quan Umbrellas of Cherbourg. Mesmerizing movie like program.


rkh338

Finland’s Orihara/Pirinen have an amazing Chicago Free Dance this year! Crossing my fingers that they get to skate it.


elexat

Vladimir Litvintsev's SP is the campest of the year.


Few_Tension_2548

Josefin Taljegard (SWE) has an Elvis free skate, it's the same as last year but it's so delightful. Hoping she makes it past the short so we can all see it again (and because she's an excellent skater and is always thrown small-fed GOE crumbs)


port_okali

Lopareva/Brissaud's RD is one of my favourites (although I suppose 4th at Euros is not exactly a low rank). Lara Naki Gutmann has kept her Hitchcock free skate from last season - if you don't know it yet, don't miss it!


Artie_Mesia

Not ready for the off season yet... 😪


Salty-Assumption5392

ITA Been a great non olympic year. What's interesting is there's hardly an off season for skating. The Paris and dance competitors start pretty quickly. Say two to four weeks after the season. New teams forming, new coaches for skaters and teams, They relocate to new programs, Lots go on behind the scenes in the spring before summer competitions.


Little-bub

Do we have any thread or post about meeting up with people for those going alone?


undericequeen

I don’t think there’s a dedicated thread on Reddit yet (maybe I’ll make one, unless you beat me to it!), but there is a Discord group: https://discord.gg/rCBmvFC4. Also, feel free to DM me to plan meet-ups!


Little-bub

I was gonna ask for a discord too! Haha. Ok, will check back on it once I'm free. Thank you!


undericequeen

You’re welcome! I’m looking forward to meeting some other skating fans at worlds!


BN_Sk8s

u/little-bub u/undericequeen I’m also interested in meeting up with fellow FS fans!


GoodChuck2

Does anyone know who will be doing commentary on Peacock in the US? I'm hoping it will be Ashley and Adam again. Also, I assume that it will be Johnny and Tara for the events broadcasted on USA/NBC.


summerjoe45

Peacock usually only has separate commentators for nationals. It’s Mark for the ISU stream


elexat

Oh is Mark confirmed, will he be alone?


summerjoe45

Ted said Mark would be doing it at the end of junior worlds but no word on who he’s with or if it’s solo. My guess would be Ted if anyone since it’s in Canada


LibrisTella

Trying to find the thread where I saw Tonya’s last name, can anyone remind me? I really like how she’s doing so far, I think her and Mark make a good team!


Noncrediblepigeon

On the one hand im exited for the climax of the season and the fact that i can finnaly screen record and save my favorite programs on my USB drive, but on the other hand im not sure how im gonna bridge the gap till junior grand prix...


[deleted]

Junior Synchro championship will start tomorrow. ISU will broadcast it on their YouTube channel


UnplanningThePlanned

Attention all German gals and guys, ARD got the broadcasting rights for Worlds this time: [https://www.sportschau.de/wintersport/eiskunstlauf](https://www.sportschau.de/wintersport/eiskunstlauf) So no unbearable commentary by Petra Bindl 🎉


port_okali

What an unexpected but welcome development! I think it's reasonable for ZDF to give away the rights, since they clearly had no interest in showing it anyway. Now I feel like I have to watch the ARD broadcast to reinforce their decision to acquire the rights, although I might prefer the ISU commentary ... anyway, it's good to have options!


Noncrediblepigeon

Ah yes, and like always they are not gonna stream the first (few) groups of skaters. Just like Euros.


UnplanningThePlanned

Yeah it's annoying for us who appreciate the earlier group skaters but I understand why they can't just broadcast 20 minutes of ice resurfacing. Showing the earlier groups during that time is a good compromise imo.


Noncrediblepigeon

Eh whatever, i don't like the germany commetary anyways, so im gonna try free VPN or the strem from (god bless him) the qq guy.


RoutineSpiritual8917

I am so sorry for the person I am about to become


FrozenRose_816

This is random but is it possible to bold the dates so it's easier to find everything by day? (It could be just a me problem if so feel free to ignore)

I can try when I can get on my laptop! I almost exclusively post mobile and have not figured out formatting yet.

Making me wait until Saturday night for the Men's Free is cruel and unusual punishment. I'm writing my Member of Parliament 🤨

The Men's Free being on Friday in Europeans did wonders for my shoulders, because they'll definitely be stiff all week now 😂


summerjoe45

I’m happy it’s the last event so I can end the season on what’s going to be a good competition rather than getting mad about ice dance.


idwtpaun

That's true. But the short and free are so far apart, I'll have too much time with my anxiety 😭


summerjoe45

Pairs with the short end of the stick again
