That's the one
I think I'll still buy the stream, I'm in the mood to support the ISU and the local organizers at the moment.

if Matteo and Daniel were there i would have considered, but the price isn't cheap

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Paying for one competition is one thing, but other competitions are also shifting toward paid live streams and I simply cannot justify spending 20 € for each Challenger or significant Senior/Junior B when I'm currently not making any money (the drawbacks of being a full-time student).

For reference, other sports have occasional paid live streams for competitions too, but the prices vary a lot. For example, there's an upcoming multicountry friendly in gymnastics, and the live stream costs 3,50 €. Granted, the whole event is only one day long, but with an equivalent price, this Challenger would be around 9 € with the three-day pass or 10,50 € if you paid for each day individually, a price that seems much more doable for many fans, including myself.

Well, let's say I could afford it if I wanted to. I don't make a lot of money, but it would be possible. I just think 20 Euro for a Challenger is greedy or there's a complete failure in finances. Of course there will be enough people around the world who will pay and that's why they can do it. But the athletes hardly get any prize money, they have to pay themselves to even take part. If the ISU is not able to organize such an event without the organizers taking so much money for a smaller competition they are doing something wrong.
I would like to see some athletes, but basically they will show the same programs in other events which are mostly covered by Eurosport. There is no current active superstar in the sport or at this event. No Hanyu, no Chen, no Russians. It's a complete niche sport where the ranks at such an event cannot be filled with paying people. In my eyes figure skating needs to get a grip on reality and come up with better ideas.
In the longer run this will steer away fans instead of getting new ones.

Well, I'm totally ready to pay for the men's field at Lombardia, I don't need Hanyu, Chen or the Russians. But I also understand people (especially full-time students) saying it's too much for them. That's why we also post the here.

I think it only wants an account if you are on your phone. It should work on a browser on PC without an account. I wouldn't give vk my phone number.

I received an error screen saying "Video only available to followers" on my pc with firefox browser

 

[Mariiiiskate]

I think the channel changed the live stream for followers only. it was available little while ago for everyone .

I'll buy the stream, and try to do PBPs for as much as I can, but I'm rather busy this week-end.

 

[YuBluByMe]

Well it’s on, but nothing’s happening. I want to watch the men since I really like Andrew, but I think dance is first so I’ll watch that too.

Welp, maybe not dance. Four women are warming up now.

 

[icewhite]

Without watching I'm cheering for Hana, Niina and Chaeyeon among the women, an Yuma, Nikita and Arlet among the men. The Taschlers, Green/Parsons should also be fun, and it will surely be interesting to see how Hase/Volodin do.

 

[lileychristie]

I bought the stream just for today, as I don't think I'll have the time (or the sleep-less power ) to watch the next 2 days too.

Stream could be more HD, but at least it's smooth. And happy that I can chromecast it to my TV too

A gorgeous program for her that shows off her flexibility and range of movement, but some very uncharacteristic errors

Thanks for doing this, but perhaps the Lombardia women's short program thread is a better place for the PBP?

For VK stream (stream - https://vk.com/video-183993582_456240589) you need be follower of this group - https://vk.com/figure_skaters_ru (but for this you need to have account in VK)

 

[Mariiiiskate]

they never required that before I wonder why now?
