If nobody buys gala tickets when they have their sh**show, that will send a message. As for myself, I have no plans to ever buy another overpriced, mystery package all event ticket ever again! I will vote with my $$$. . And the rumour that the organizer was saying the votes were all for a certain American jumper.... What? What organizer would hint such a ridiculous vote count? How could Yuzu, with the number of fans he has internationally, NOT be the winner of that. (He's also the GOAT, so there's that...) Link to comment

NBC had actually blocked off about 20 hours or more for figure skating starting on Thursday through tomorrow and now they are showing something called "Monster Jam". I'm not even going to look at what that is. They could've shown the Olympics. They're even the network that has rights to the Olympics. But, nooooooo. No skating for me. Get a VPN for Canada and then you can watch everything online. CBC is streaming this online right now. Link to comment

Never going to buy an all-event sight unseen again. I will wait until all the information is released before buying, or else get single day tickets, and the gala is what I'll purchase last.

According to ISU's own definition MVS it's literally the only award that can be measured and justified by numbers at all. Biggest fanbase, most klicks, likes and views on SM and YT, highest search score, endorsements... yeah pretty much everything that ESPN puts into account when they create their 100 rankings. And I don't see any other figure skater in that list except Yuzu. I'm really curious how they wanted to explain/justify that decision (if it's true)... Link to comment

WOO!!! It's just so exciting to get to see him properly on TV! Also, watching the ice dance again made me realize how much I miss the Shibutanis. So they aired Yuzu's interview, and the ice dance, women's, and pairs final flights. But did not air the men's skating. What the heck! Here I thought they were doing so well... Link to comment

Or indeed among top six! Link to comment

I wanted to watch Olympic Seimei again... But they must have had an editing error, because right before the interview they said they would air the men's competition. So now I'm pouting.

I watched to the beginning of pairs and then stopped.....no men? Very strange. I thought at least they would show Patrick, especially since they even took the time to show Gabby's disaster skate, which seemed a bit cruel. Link to comment

Not sure what happened but Maybe it was a last-minute edit based on the engagement and numbers on their Yuzu interview. Make the men's replay an EVENT. Separate day, Hanyu-heavy advertising, throw in a Sochi replay with dramatic Patrick vs. Yuzu showdown feat. shady Chiddy interview soundbites, include all the short programs for good measure, re-run every CBC post-skate interview Yuzu has ever done, and get Tracy on video chat for an exclusive. /wishfulthinking Link to comment

If we could set up KAST or Zoom, I have CBC men on my hard disk... mind you, what with working from home, I have considerably less free time, though Link to comment
