So I wonder if this will even end up on IceNetwork.
Really the ISU should at least have a clause that if there is footage, they get it and get to post it. Frankly the ISU should require all Senior B and up events are on IceNetwork... but ohh well. ...

I mean, I don't mind if they want to charge for online, exclusive streams. I understand that money is helpful, and depending how the money was used and where it would go, I would actually in general be happy to pay for high quality streaming of events. But I think a realistic price point is something that must be considered. I would have happily paid 10 euro to watch all 3 days of this competition. But to pay 10 Euro for each day, when I can't even watch part of Friday live even if I wanted to? Thanks but no thanks. And honestly too, I am in the very lucky position that I could pay that much if I really wanted to/really thought it was worth it... many people aren't in a position where they can throw away that kind of money on one day of a skating event.
The other crazy thing is that for an all day pass tomorrow, the cost is 20 Croatian 'dollars', to see it live. 20 Croatian dollars is about 2 euro and 60 cents, or 2 US dollars and 75 cents. To see all three days of the event live if you are in Croatia is well less than 10 USD. Yet they think that it's worth more than that for one day of streaming? Just crazy.
I wanted to pay and support them, but I ended up watching for free...
