I suppose I don't need to do this now that Mao88 is colour-coding the videos (great idea!) But, I'll do it anyway, for those that want easy access to the starting orders without going to the individual competition threads.

Like the NHK, this is not a terribly complicated post this time around. On Friday, a combination of being on different channels and earlier programmes over-running meant that British Eurosport missed the first 2 entries in the Short Dance, whereas Eurosport International only missed the first.

Unfortunately, this coupled with the fact they were only showing highlights on Saturday, meant that we did not get to see EITHER of the routines from Illinykh / Zhiganshin (Oops – I very nearly wrote Katsalapov there!)

That said, I was impressed that Eurosport did not go overboard with cutting routines on Saturday. In total, we only lost 5 routines across 3 segments (Pairs, Ladies and Dance). That is a lot less than the EIGHT ROUTINES they cut from the Men’s FS alone at the Trophée Éric Bompard!

In fact, come to think of it, if you include the routine(s) that were lost when they arrived late to the Short Dance (1 for International, 2 for British) on Friday, it still doesn’t reach the number that were cut from the Men’s FS in France.

One thing that really annoyed me, though, is the way that every Gala this season, Eurosport have cut out the local guest performers. I was really looking forward to seeing how Javi Raya was skating this season. And it is always great to see Sara and Adria in action.

One of main things I love about the Galas is that they a chance to see the up and coming talent. Like, taking the NHK as an example, the Galas there were where I first saw Rika Hongo, Sokoto Miyahara, Riona Kato, Shoma Uno, Sota Yamamoto, Ryuji Hino.

But now Eurosport have started denying us this insight into the future.

Thanks a lot! :sarcasm:

CBC broadcast of GPF Ice Dance / Ladies (Dec 21 broadcast) -- not geo-blocked in the U.S. :):

Meanwhile, many thanks to sabinfire for this thread with other CBC GPF videos:

Thanks for the shout-out, golden411. ;)

It is nice that they have made this readily available for everyone.

I went to the MSN video you provided and played with the quality setting, "HQ" and "HD"... the video still looks really blurry/grainy to me and nowhere near HD. Is my connection just really bad right now?

It's still okay quality though.

Agree that the "HD" setting at the MSN link certainly does not provide HD-quality video. :eek:hwell:
The HQ setting also does not live up to a billing of high quality. :no:

Thank you for raising this red flag.
I unexpectedly stumbled on the MSN link when I wasn't even looking for vids, and just thought it was worth sharing.
Haven't tried poking around to see whether other CBC GP videos are available on the site. Even if they are, I wonder whether the quality issue will remain. :confused2:

Okay, it's not just me then. It's disappointing, even the lowest quality setting on my DM site looks like MSN's version of HD. (Not trying to toot my own horn or anything, I'm just a quality snob and like to see HD video, especially if it's marked as an option.)

Thanks for sharing the link. I am sure there are folks out there who don't have access to my DM videos, or may not know about them, or just prefer to use an official source like MSN. And who knows, maybe my videos will disappear tomorrow? :unsure:

That's really an amazing find, golden411. Now you've got me poking around now to see what else they might have, although I suspect it is unlikely to find HD quality video.

The oddest part is how MSN categorized this under the "NHL" section. :laugh: Even the url itself is pointing there.
