Yes, time zones may not be so good. However there is one thing to watch out for that would be brilliant. The time zone would be really good for juniors and you never know we might just get Alexandra Trusova et al. in the JGPF. I know a couple of years ago we got Anastasiia Gubanova and Alina Zagitova setting back to back world records with fantastic skates in the juniors, and you never know we might just be lucky again, though of course figure skating seems to have definitely dropped in their priorities since.
It really has and it’s a shame because at Pyongchang when they had everything it was outstanding. I’ve recently learned they do actually fly them out there and the guys do watch all the events (or at least they are able to). Even if they can’t broadcast it on TV I wish they did everything on the player.
In other news I saw one of the Eurosport boys at my local rink yesterday, Mark, training for Dancing on Ice. The series should be over by March so I don’t expect he’ll be commentating again in time for the Europeans.
