Russian Senior Nationals, Sochi 24-28 Dec 2014

[silverfoxes]

Hey guys, I know there's no certainty yet regarding what livestreams may or may not become available, at least until the final minutes leading up to the events, but...

Trying to decide whether or not I should drag my butt out of bed at 5 a.m on Christmas morning for the off chance that we might find livestreams for the Mens, Pairs, and Dance shorts tomorrow.

Thoughts? Scale of 1 to 10 on whether I should do it?

I figure I'll at least set my alarm and see if any new links pop up right before the events... otherwise, I may be right back in bed within minutes.

Well, I'm planning to do exactly that, so you won't be the only crazy person. Only because the men are my favorite discipline, and the Russian men in particular. In the worst case scenario, with no videos at all, someone will surely be Tweeting or posting on VK...but I feel like someone will post video...they simply have to!

Sundays Gala tickets are sold out (7500). For comparison - on Thursday and Friday they sold only 3500 tickets and on Saturday - 5000 tickets.

That's because a lot of non-fans like attending the gala I think: they don't really care about the competitions, they just want to enjoy some fun skating (this is what happens in Italy when we have a gala right after Nationals: the "real" fans go to both, but most of the people arrive just in time for the Gala)

I don't have this problem thanks to my time zone but I'm relieved that I'm not the only crazy one, since I would probably do the same if I were you

Has ice dance gone? If it has can you put the links up?

 

[MalAssada]

You mean the SD? If so, it starts tomorrow.

 

[CanadianSkaterGuy]

So excited for this! It's been a while since the Russian nationals have been so unpredictable and with so many strong entries across all disciplines.

Sunday Gala has plushenko. Also, weekend timeslots are generally better attended.

Ok thanks. I saw the times but they were in Russian. I think it starts 8:00 am Christmas Day?

This webpage has been quite helpful in finding and converting times of events from all over the world.

Why is the results page for Russian Nationals always such a bad one? No schedule, no links for protocols, the live results service is usually not really "live" :no:

And why, to make it funnier, their TV broadcast is always so good?

France used to be as bad but it's a bit better now. Slightly. At least, the protocols are available after the event is concluded.

Still wonder why they call both "live" results.

At the Russian website protocols are also available after the event is concluded. Usually, one protocol on a subpage

Merry Christmas

As promised, I dragged myself out of bed super early on Christmas morning. So here I am, looking, hoping, for livestreams to appear...

What's o'clock in your country? In Poland there is 11:58 a.m.

 

[sabinfire]

Mine would be 5:58 a.m. Oh gosh, why did I get out of bed this early on Christmas.

In my time zone it's 4am, but I couldn't sleep anyway, so we better get some kind of information!

 

[AlexRus]

Men SP started!

No livestream.:shocked:

 

[sabinfire]

And I don't think I can get back to sleep now. I guess I'll just stay up and use this "quiet time" to monitor results from Sochi while working some more on my CBC footage of the GPF (which is located in the GPF forum, if anyone is interested).

Merry Christmas, folks.
