Yes...Kovtun is a native

Will we be able to watch it all on one channel this year? Or will there be a mess like last year?

Was it a mess? IIRC, I watched all of Russian Nationals last year on ESPN. In fact, it's still on-demand here:

There was drama. No one knew about the ESPN broadcast and people from Russia were blacked out.

I'm not sure what you mean by "no one knew about ESPN." That's what I was watching, and it was being widely discussed here on GoldenSkate. Maybe my memory is failing me, but I tend to remember frustrations when streams don't work, or are blacked-out, etc.

It is possible that many folks in various part of the world (that do not post on GS) may have had issues receiving a broadcast of Russian Nationals and didn't know about alternatives such as ESPN.

I can only share my experience. I have to say, out of all the large figure skating events last year, Russian Nationals was the most simple one for me to watch of all. I did not have any geo-blocking issues with ESPN, didn't have to pay any fees, and the stream was complete and reliable throughout the entire comp! :thumbsup:

Well...where are your jumpamatron videos this season? topic:

Well...where are your jumpamatron videos this season? topic:

Has anyone really wanted to see much of anything? I did post a Maria Sotskova Jumpamatron during the JGP series, and the other day I put up an Elena Radionova 'Open Your Eyes' montage (which was more work for me than most Jumpamatrons I've made).

I don't know if it's a lack of inspiration or lack of ideas, just haven't felt motivated to crank out video edits at the same pace as last season. Maybe it's still early in the season and that's part of the reason... but I would like to get back to making those kinds of videos again.

Any idea if ESPN will be covering Russian Nat this year?

I've been making them. I even got TSLDave to watch one

I started a Davis and White "Curve Lift" Liftamatron that I'm on my way home to add the final touches on. The Lena video you did was really good :yes:

Oh, see, another Christmas day spent watching Russian ladies

I was able to watch ESPN as well, but from what I recall, there was no indication beforehand that they would show it, and many people even in the US couldn't access the stream. Russian tv only started showing the competition on day 2 because of some snafu with the rights. I just hope this year we'll have accessible coverage for all, for the entire competition.

I was wondering that as well. I watched the entire event on ESPN 3 through my Apple TV. Any info on a broadcast schedule?

Hello, I need help from someone. Does Uzbekistan have a National Championships? I ask because I'm wondering where Misha Ge will be going for his Nationals? When I was at Worlds in 1999, Tatiana Malinina hung out with Maria Butyrskaya the whole time and I believe Tatiana and Misha both train or have trained in Russia. Is this true? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me with some information

I'll post this link here since it seems to talk about the live streaming of the competition:
http://www.fsrussianchampionship2016.ru/news.html?news=19#menu

I'm reading this through Google translate, but does this mean that they'll have live streaming through Match TV and it'll be broadcasted outside Russia too? A Japanese channel has a live broadcasting and I have already paid the fee for that... oh well... :hopelessness:
