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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sombreuil Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Laureus is at least raising money for sports projects round the world. This is more like an oscars style vanity project for ISU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuzuangel Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least then I'll know if my bellyaching is justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yumeaki Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuzuangel Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veveco Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 will be on my summer holiday. I suppose I can take some time off skating? 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.
