2024 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb: Info and pre-game chat

[Jeanie19]

I’m disappointed that Isabeau hasn't been added to the Entries list. I guess she isn’t ready to compete for whatever reason.

I don't think it has been updated because the withdrawals haven't been, Amber is still listed. Don't give up hope, I haven't.

 

[ramurphy2005]

Waiting for the onslaught of pairs withdrawals....

I forgot that Conti/Macii were on the list, too, so at least that's only another withdrawal because of the GPF.

 

[FlossieH]

Given that it's only 3 days after nationals, I wouldn't be surprised to see some British withdrawals.

 

[TwinnerA]

It appears to be quite a huge list of entries, at least for the women. 38 this year vs. 18 (3 withdrew) last season.

Apparently, they're advertising that a paid stream will be available on SolidSport, but I do like the OP's use of allegedly given the history of Golden Spin.

Golden Spin is being streamed this year on SolidSport. Early bird passes are on sale until 3 December for 249 SEK. Replays available until 28 February.

Only the ISU would make the final event in a series one that you cannot ever see...and that we count ourselves lucky if the live scoring works.

So. We are forced to pay $22 but in Swedish currency to get a live stream that maybe works? at least it is on demand. If it works. No thanks. Great line up but this is getting out of hand. What's next? Individual streams for individual ISU GP events? No wonder people are rebelling at all the streaming services and turning them on and off.....how to kill a sport......
Now if they had cut a deal with Peacock to charge X amount to view on Peacock, I would be a bit more enthused....but not as it is now. I still wonder how many views Peacock records for a GP event.

If someone’s gonna be there live and could give us play-by-play that would be awesome

Or, wear special virtual reality glasses that record the event and upload it? Not that I would watch anything so ill eagle.....

Indeed it has, since it reflects the changes in the US entries.

The biggest change I see without comparing the old and new lists is that all the Italian pairs are out. Conti/Maccii were expected because of the GPF, and I'm also not surprised by Beccari/Guarise given that she's been dealing with an injury.

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Golubeva/Giotopoulos Moore are also not surprising I think. Either she hasn't recovered yet or they didn't have enough time for training because of her being ill.

Btw there is a Gala scheduled.

And as a taster of the sort of thing that might happen in the Gala, here is my all-time favourite memory from the Golden Spin:

I am carefully optimistic because the Croatian Skating Fed has a new president. Apparently, it was the old one who thought skating has no business being online. We'll see.

Or they now see an opportunity to get money. There are a lot of great skaters on line for fans, relatives and friends.

Costly for most fans but good for the organizers I guess.

is Loena really competing?
