At least give the silver and bronze medals to the Americans and Japanese, and then continue with the "investigation" of the Russian doping, if that what is actually going on. If IOC or ISU or whoever, find their balls and actually punish the Russians, take BACK the silver and bronze and reissue the gold and silver in their places and award Canada the bronze. At least give the innocent bystanders some kind of reward for their accomplishments instead of holding everyone's medals hostage because of Noodle Head. 1 4 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2875-figure-skating/page/160/#findComment-7658441
justmehere September 19, 2022 Share September 19, 2022 (edited) Before subscribing - it looks like replays won't be available on Peacock, only live streaming due to "streaming rights". This is the case according to one person's chat with a Peacock representative. Direct questions to USFS or Peacock (via Twitter) about the season don't seem to receive answers. Maybe they are trying to work things out, but there's been silence other than responses about a particular event not being available for replay. Speculation is that it's about music rights. This thread includes the chat: Another that only references the current event: And one more involving Jackie Wong's response to the woman who shared the chat: Edited September 19, 2022 by justmehere Grammar 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2875-figure-skating/page/160/#findComment-7658451

I watched via Hulu to listen to the NBC commentary and that I DVR'd so I could check it out later.

But she still seems to be chasing the one thing that DOESN'T fulfill her: skating. I know many elite athletes feel very lost after years and years of vigorous training and then it's sort of nothing. I think Tessa Virtue mentioned constantly being sick when she quit training so hard.

I bet Tanith has been replaced as a commentator due to her coaching. I like Kaitlyn & wondered if she'd been advised to not talk too much. But throughout this competition, I've had a hard time hearing the softer voices during each program. I can hear Terry & Tara, but not Kaitlyn & Johnny, while the music is blaring away. In the past, I've always been able to hear comments during programs. Something's different about the audio--I first noticed it last season. Wow...Deanna Stellato at 39. She's amazing.
