2025 Trialeti Trophy: General Info and Pregame Chat

well I guess I missed the deadline to remove him ... the joys of last minute w/d ... I hope he is well which is more important than my prediction score :)
I couldn't fix this during work, oh well...

I think only one person fixed it in time LOL :) of course, those who didn't put their thrust in Sota ahead of time will have an advantage but you know, last time, I got time to remove a few dancers and I won... this time, it's only fair others win ;)
 
Anyone else feel like they were completely guessing on predictions, or was it just me? LOL
Yes, mine were guessing. I put some skaters higher than I would otherwise have done, expecting a bit of home cooking. I am not sure whether all the home skaters really were better than all the others, or if I underestimated the extent of home cooking? I haven't watched any of the skater because I cannot justify £22 for a stream at the moment.

There were rumors of a free stream, but I never followed that up. I suspect maybe not reliable rumors.

But, more disturbingly, the X accounts I follow have not shared any of the programs, so maybe the fee was too high for everyone - because some of those accounts post the programs reliably.
 
I too am disappointed about the Trialeti Trophy and the Tayside Trophy both being behind the paywall. I would have wanted to watch as much as possible of both.

But, at least Junior GP in Abu Dhabi and the other two British events being held this week (the Blackburn Trophy for Solo Dance and the October Qualifier for Singles and Pairs) are free on YouTube.

Junior GP Abu Dhabi channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SkatingISU
Blackburn Trophy channel: https://www.youtube.com/@wonderice8782
October Qualifier channel: https://www.youtube.com/@britishiceskating

So, they could be free alternatives.

Still think it is ridiculous that the British Fed have allowed so many significant events to be held at the same time.

Every time I try watching the music has been muted by BIS. Solo Dance was unwatchable last season because it was livestreamed on YouTube with the performances skated in silence due to music copyright. And as the American Referee said when Gordeeva & Grinkov's FS music stopped but they carried on skating ignoring the Referee's whistle to stop, "Skating without music isn't Figure Skating". I know I can't watch those BIS qualifiers with muted music, as there's not much point?! 🤷🤦
 
I don't know what this is? But if it's a free stream, please send to me! 🙏 🙂

VK is sometimes referred to as Russian Facebook. One of their pages streams many events. I used to be able to access that page through my (American) Facebook account, but in recent years they requested I set up a VK account, which I was not inclined to do.

I don't know if it differs by country, other than Russia obviously :), whether a separate account is required
 
People at the rink right now are saying that apparently there have been luggage problems for some of the pairs teams...they're at practice but not on the ice...so we might see some WDs here as well. Referring to Moss/Galbavy, Vouillamoz/Bouvart and Ehrhard/Pellegris. The pairs are not due to skate until later today so we will see what happens...
Update: Ehrhard/Pellegris have their skates.
