I don't know if we will be able to watch them, but the Inclusive Skating World Championships are being held all next week in Scotland.
Unfortunately, the names of the skaters aged under 16 are blanked out on the entry list. But I expect that a couple of skaters from Northern Ireland will be competing. And after having nobody competing at Junior or Senior Worlds this season, it will be so good to have some local skaters to cheer on at these World Championships.

When you watched Worlds via the World Feed on Peacock, so you'll need a skating break for at least a week to take care of some things in your real life. Watching coverage the day of/next day, especially if you want to see skaters in the early groups, multiple segments, multiple disciplines, is no joke. Whew. 
But I did it because the Peacock World Feed had no commentary. It was COMPLETELY worth it to soak up the divine arena atmosphere and Japanese camerawork. I have a couple more Fan Fests to post in, but seriously, I need to do important tasks in my real life. See you all in about a week.

...when you watch the final episode of "MASH" (Series 11, Episode 16: "Goodbye, Farewell, And Amen"), and after getting mentioned quite a few times during the series, you are disappointed that Sonja Henie did not get a mention in the finale (Ingrid Bergman did, though).
Now that I have finished "MASH", I have started catching up on the episodes of BBC's technology series "Click" that I had got behind on over the past few months. And I have a couple related to it.
...when you watch an episode of "Click", and when you hear one of their new reporters, Alasdair Keane, your immediate reaction is "he sounds just like Mark Hanretty"!
Suffice to say, Alasdair and Mark are both from the Glasgow area.
...when you watch another episode of "Click", and during one of their reports they talk to a surgeon with the surname "Schizas". And the first thing you think is "I wonder if he is related to Madeline".
Hey, you never know!

I am still finishing parts of it, but will have all the lists done this week with the entire event files and playlists. Individual links are gonna take a bit longer. I have had a blast doing it. My favorite so far is baby Mai Mihara.

You start following a fine arts museum in Boston because they have a picture of Yuzuru in their Great Wave exhibition and you then find out you would really like to go there for a lot of their other permanent stuff (god, my passions get tangled and interconnected so much). So Boston is now on my little list of 'why the US might not be a bad idea' and it's all FS's fault.
(I'm putting a couple of links just as text, including the main Great Wave one because I adore and collect Great Wave homages )

This is true. But I am hoping for twitch parties myself, as not all the skaters will have their performances uploaded to youtube bilibili etc (though twitter sometimes has people offering downloads of the first or best shows).

for worlds in montreal in 2020, i had bought 3 days out of 5 (no gala and I think i had skip the thursday or the wednesday)...
I am considering something similar this time around... skipping the first would probably mean skipping short programs for two disciplines and if it's pairs, it's usually ok because most pairs make it to the free... but yeah... I am not sure I can do 4 days SITTING at the rink... I find GPs very long and it's just two short days... really considering here... at home, it's easier.. sometimes i would pass out... or at least change set-up (chair,desk, couch, etc) but at the rink? Have you ever done 4 full days?

well... here is the deal... if it starts late in the evening, I will watch some of it live...BUT i doubt it will be like that... I have the feeling that it will start at 4am or 5am like the LPs.. which is not happening for me... Saitama, i would start watching at 10pm Eastern and then would get sucked in to watch as much of the second session until i passed out... but there is no way i would stay up until 5 to start watching an event and even less way that i would go to bed super early to wake up at 5am... anyway... is the schedule out?And it’s in Japan too.
