Well, not believable at first even less believable now. 36 минут назад, mambook сказал: If the ISU Awards doesn't get enough views, dare I hope they don't repeat it?!? Sadly, no, it's already announced for next year.
June 22, 20206 yr So basically, they want North American market back, I guess, so they are throwing something North Americans are supped to like, perhaps? For me, the mere idea is a horror. I still shudder at having pulled through Laureus last year. Such a waste of time. I admit, I might know more people this time round. But compared to Laureus, this has got a lot tackier feel to it.
June 22, 20206 yr Laureus is at least raising money for sports projects round the world. This is more like an oscars style vanity project for ISU
June 22, 20206 yr What do you think of getting a stream for the ISU Awards so we don't need to give them ad revenue/clicks? Because people will watch anyway even though we shouldn't....haha

At least then I'll know if my bellyaching is justified.
June 23, 20206 yr I think my only concern with separate streaming is copyright issue. Dunno how strict they are with this. Dun wanna bring problem to the host.
June 23, 20206 yr The most that happens is our twitch account gets suspended, I guess... I don't see how it'll affect this site, but in the worst case we'll have to make another twitch acct
June 24, 20206 yr I just realized that I have a Skype call planned at the time of the awards. Not even on purpose, it's a family meeting. But... oh, oh no... how shall I ever recover from missing that?

But... oh, oh no... how shall I ever recover from missing that? I know exactly how you feel. I realized I'd probably be at work, but even if I'm not in the office, I'll be working anyway. There is a very small chance that I'll be able to watch the ceremony. Oh no...

I am having enormous fun at Russian forums which are taking the whole circus way too seriously.

I like her very much and I really don't know what they could complain of. She's still the reigning Olympic and World champion, after half a season off which her bones needed, and has resumed training at Novogorsk with her team. I could not be happier for her.
