Cieplucha will be 19th for the third year in a row because of pulling an Oda. :p

Interesting: Weiss is saying that it's planned for the future for commentators to be allowed to listen in to the 3 Technical Specialist's discussions, and that those discussions can even be published.

Great news! The more transparency, the better.

Lucine's program was fun again but his basics are very poor. Shallow edges, lack of speed, absolutely appalling posture.

I'll probably blow a gasket upon seeing his marks. :p
lol - he did get a level 1 for his step sequence in the SP though.
I never liked his jungle book FS, but at least it did make me smile a little ;)

It's geoblocked, and I'm right next to the Dutch border in Germany :))
you should get a non-German to check it... EVERYTHING is geoblocked in Germany! I think even Bananas are geoblocked in Germany! :bang:

Ah, thank you very much! Shame, of course, but that does make me even more curious about why the ARD stream isn't blocked then, too (for not-Germany, I mean). I reckon it's a very lucky mistake... :biggrin:

Thanks for the info, folks!

Strangely enough, German public broadcasters ARD/ZDF never bother with geoblocks for *others*, and from what I hear, there will be no geoblock for the Olympic figure skating events either :D

Out of plain curiosity, could someone outside Holland check this stream? http://nos.nl/sport/livestream/stream/2212/
I would like to know if it's geo-blocked or not.

Geo-blocked in the UK too!


I was going to go away and do something during the resurfacing, but this is great craic watching the Czech youngsters messing about in front of the camera!

Good luck Michal and Tomas!!!

Geoblocking is done on the server side. I guess the ARD stream is not geoblocked simply because they forgot to activate it. :laugh:

Not sure about this.......I've been talking to a guy working for ARD and they simply don't bother with geoblocks. A reason for this is probably the fact the the regular German public broadcasters are free-to-air via satellite in contrast to NOS, ORF, SRF, VRT and the Scandinavians.

It's from ARD and ZDF, the German "non-private" tv channels. They make every German household pay rather high mandatory charge fees for them, even if you don't own a TV. So this stream having a good quality is what I'd expect! ... and the first good thing I've discovered about the German public broadcaster... ever.

I remember ARD livestreams in the past that were indeed geoblocked. But IIRC they were not sports related. Maybe ARD makes a difference there.

They did that yesterday, too, and it cracked me up. Lively to see they allow it to continue, their enthusiasm is hilarious!

I was watching the Russian stream yesterday, so I missed it.

I'm glad the organisers didn't stop them. Like, never mind us sitting watching at home, it was a bit of entertainment for the spectators rather than getting dizzy watching the zambonis go round and round!

3 Frenchmen in one group. Unless your a Russian ladies skater, it doesn't happen too often having all three from the one country in the same group.

Good luck to all three of them! :biggrin:

...and Konstantin, of course! ;) :biggrin:

You're welcome! :) Our German public boroadcasters are filthy rich, so it's time they do something useful with their money :)
