has anyone a stream for the free dance ? a chinese one ?
According to the Guide on my TV, Saturday's NBC coverage will be ice dance and ladies.
This s a huge change by NBC. They never cover dance Wow.
Maybe try streams from this site:has anyone a stream for the free dance ? a chinese one ?

OTOH, for two nights in a row, the NBC promo for Worlds that has aired during the Tonight Show has plugged Ashley W. and Jason. So if the promo actually gets some new viewers to watch Worlds on Sat. night, they will be expecting to see men.
Not saying that I want NBC to ignore dance. Just wonder whether the left hand and right hand at NBC are working together. :think:
Not only that, if they tune in to see Wagner, they will be in for a bit of a shock, especially since she's the lowest ranked American of the three right now. Reminds me of Rippon being featured in the promo for NBC's 4CC coverage, and he didn't even get a mention on-air, let alone have either of his programs shown. I would have thought Gracie (due to her 4th place finish at Sochi) and Polina (for winning 4CC) would have been more likely candidates? The only people who would know Wagner had a good season are people who watched the first half of this season (such as the Grand Prix series).
Plus I gotta believe that NBC plans to show the free skates of Ashley and Gracie no matter what their overall placements end up being. And most likely for Polina too...
Are you saying that NBC would treat the ladies competition differently than the men? As in, NBC will always show the ladies no matter how poorly they perform, but they would not show the American men if they performed poorly (as they have done with the men in the past)?
I think NBC (as an American network) should always show the 3 Americans, regardless of placement -- but they have not always done this, even at 4CC...
And if we're using U.S. Nationals as a benchmark to determine what people want to watch -- Rippon was considered by many to be the breakout performance of U.S. Nationals, but then he was completely ignored by NBC afterwards. ...
... Without going too off-topic, domestic competitions (even Nationals) are a terrible barometer in determining how well a skater will perform in international competitions.
But I don't think casual fans give a hoot about this point.
As the reigning U.S. champ (and as the three-time champ, it so happens), Ashley W. inherently will be interesting to some casual fans, IMO.
By the way, the SVT play page, if it is useful to anyone.

The shows are archived, so if anyone wants to catch up on something they missed.
Alas I'm a little disappointed, as previously they'd have the whole competition live on SVT play - but now it seems that they only have that which they are broadcasting on the telly.
does anyone know of a legit free live stream with English commentary?
apparently the site i used to watch last year's worlds was shut down. :/ all I have is a Russian-language stream. better than nothing, but it is annoying not to be able to understand anything they're saying. i really like the UK commentators for Eurosport 2, but all i'm finding are sites that want to trick you into downloading malware.
