Well, the crowd isn't animated right now mainly because it's a Friday. The seats will be more packed on Saturday and Sunday.
Maybe the audio on the arena is not picking it up. It seems very quiet to us.
Thank you so much GGFan . That is great news about the quality . I forgot about Johnny and TaraThoughts on the Olympic Channel via YouTube TV:
Johnny and Tara talking too much :disagree: :noshake:
Excellent quality and live figure skating

The technical panel was incredible harsh with the level for the steps and pair spin.... Do not know what to think about that.
Black Friday, at that. Everyone’s probably in bed already after lining up at 1AM outside Best Buy in the wee hours of this morning.
Is there some disconnect between audio and real life? People are definitely cheering... it's not the excitement level of worlds but people are definitely applauding and cheering. I've been cheering and so have lots and lots of other people.
I was a little disappointed--I think it was partly the muted crowd. I always cheer for the Canadians (and any exceptional teams like James & Cipres, Savchenko & Massot, Sui & Han, etc) but I didn't think Duhamel & Radford had any flow tonight. Perhaps it was just me. I'll have watch their program again.

but was it fair? Harsh is fine if everyone is judged by the same yardstick. The problem is really only if it's not fairly applied.
OOOOHHHH... new conspiracy time.. Harsh panel to keep the score of Y/Z down so even if they get the bronze they will lose on points to the French? *wearing my tin hat*
Seriously? D/R are to blame for the crowd now?
Uh, they didn't exactly get a ton of cheers themselves for their skate either.
Oy veh.
:roll5:
NHK-judges were throwing points around like rubbish. But Today the levels were not given.
