Geo-blocked.

WATTS is hardly ever shown on British Eurosport any more. :disapp: Probably because of Eurosport having different sports rights different countries now, and hence some clips not being able to be shown here.

I miss it.

, I'm so sorry...Honestly, I though You would have better access than me, but yeah about broadcasting rights in different countries...

I've lurked a but but haven't actually posted for several years , possibly because FS is tougher to follow in non-Olympic years unless you're REALLY looking for it (yeah, lame excuse). At any rate, I feel like what one of my devout Catholic uncles used to call "Poinsettas and Easter Lilies" -- his way of describing people who go to church only on Christmas & Easter. That said, there are so many people I remember with real pleasure and it's lovely to see all those posts!

I just realized that my trade-off in the exchange thread a while ago actually happened.

(Mine was S/H lose gold and Hanyu gets one...)

Aw. We'll we're glad you're here. As my priest would say (well sort of) -- we're always here if you decide to go beyond the Olympic Rings.

The local NBC Affiliate's sports team kept messaging me on twitter last night because they don't know jack about skating and they were asking all sorts of questions regarding Keegan's chances and stuff... I think I deserve some sort of compensation for being their researcher

They hit the jackpot when they found you! We'll be looking for your name in print!

I wish my professor somehow cancels class today. Yes I have school on President's Day. But my college/university has class on that day to balance the days of the week we have class.

in the middle of SD night binge-watching I hit 4000 posts...I kind of thought, if I'd be able to do that at Olympics and succeeded

another 'anniversary' - I have a feeling that it flew very fast between 3000 and 4000 posts, sometimes I feel that it would be much more, if I did not post in 'word vomit' style that often

Congratulations! Your posts are great.

I'm closing in on 6..which to me seems like a lot of prattling from yours truly. (actually.. I just passed 6..I totally missed that)

Confession: I stream the Olympics on my office computer at work all day... I'm still getting stuff done, though! I promise!

There are too many threads on GS for me right now so I’m just avoiding most discussions. Also..I’m watching all of the other sports way more than Figure Skating. I guess I think I just prefer Worlds over the Olympics for this sport.

And it got real today. As for Milan.

Bought tickets and booked hotel. No return now.

:hopelessness:

I know it really sounds pathetic, but this is the first that big thing done only for myself in my life. And I am a bit... lost in feelings right now. Cannot afford unfortunately for all 8 segments and EX, but tried my best to get as much as I could. I am going to Pairs SP and FS, Ice Dance SD and FD, Ladies and Men SPs.

As this is my very first FS event live, please share some useful fan's tips and 'etiquette' . To be honest, what I fear the most is being embarassed about my lack of experience at live FS events, thank You all in advance

If you're bringing gifts/cards, make sure they're not white!

Um... did I miss something? I know white is a mourning colour in some cultures.

 

[ancientpeas]

BTW..if ever you having a bad day I suggest watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIfAkOBMf5A and to remember that Peas did own a lycra body suit and leg warmers. :shame:

I haven't been streaming the Olys at work but have been spending waaaaaay too much time here on GS. So I won't tell on you if you don't tell on me. Deal?
