I mostly watched Rostelecom with Russian commentary and it was quite a nightmare since they constantly talk over the programs and just won’t shut up. Then, in the middle of the men event I got a link to the besp stream from another blogger but unfortunately they only covered men. Later on I went back to the Match Arena stream who got out of sync to the point where the audio was 20 seconds delayed from the video and then another lovely blogger shared another stream with me.
And this is just day one of the new season.
It should not be this hard to watch figure skating. ISU is truly failing in making skating accessible to everyone. I can understand not streaming events in countries where someone purchased the rights and is planning to show the event live. But in countries where this is not the case it should be their responsibility and interest to do this without making skating fans look for mediocre streams that barely work or miss out on the chance to watch the sport they love.
