I don’t think a lot of people watch figure skating on Peacock. I don’t think the discount had anything to do with skating.
I’m not sure that’s true. I’ve been to figure skating Nationals and gymnastics nationals. Women’s gymnastics Nationals sell out. The poor men are another story. I bet almost everyone in the country can name a gymnast (Simone Biles). I bet almost no one can name a figure skater and if they can it is Nathan Chen.
Michelle is probably the most well known figure skater in the last 30 years. she was a household name in her heyday.

I don't think so. Usually only US challengers and senior B's. The grand prix, 4CC, Europeans and Worlds.
So upsetting. Is there a VK link to the pairs FP?
Should we send him the sketchy Russian link?
I can't remember.
Peacock could as easily provide video from the competitions that have replaced Regionals.
It was on Youtube last year.
^^ Thanks for posting.
Did you guys see in the comments section on this particular site (which apparently is Russian) where they dismissively said they won't provide the pairs coverage because "there's nothing to see." 
That's petty and blatant. I give Russian pairs their due, but they ARE NOT the be-all, end-all in pairs figure skating. Their teams don't always connect well emotionally, despite good technique and beautiful positions. Quite often their packaging and music selection leaves something to be desired. The U.S. has some excellent teams with personality and depth, Canada is rebuilding and Japan is trying to build with one good senior team and promising junior prospects. Plus, new developing partnerships abound from various countries. The Georgian teams especially have an opportunity to make noise. For the most part, the Georgian teams' heritage and coaches happen to be Russian. 
It's uber petty to be so dismissive of pairs b/c over-scored Russian teams aren't there.What a sad state of affairs. We have one skater who's first international event performance may be lost forever. The only replays of the U.S. International Classic we may ever have are dodgy Russian ones. Talk about irony with that one. Russia who is currently banned from competing in ISU events are where the replays came from. Who is most to blame here? Peacock/NBC who has decided that they are not going allow any replays because they here too lazy to get the rights for them. USFS who seems to think that what NBC is doing is just grand and seems to could care less because the person who is suppose to handle this issue decided this was fine week to go on vacation. I still think that at least writing the ISU may do some good at least on one front. They may have be able to try break down the extreme geo-blocks that bar people from watching replays from the ISU website in the United States.^^ Thanks for posting.
So yep, I hope some pairs vids of this event surface. U.S. figure skating should post vids on their site. Peacock and U.S. fed are absolute traitors to fans and to the sport. All the stupidity about event coverage streaming this season is doing no favors for anyone involved! If they actually cared, they'd find a better way to give fans reasonable access.
I don't think the ISU decides on the geo-blocks, but the country being blocked. When USFS sells broadcast/streaming rights to NBC, NBC gets exclusive rights. Hence the geo-blocks.
How will a vpn help? If I keep Peacock I can watch it live without a vpn but that might be 3 a.m. my time. That is beyond frustrating.
