^ I don't recall that in particular, having only heard his commentary once, but it sure sounds like him. He also grumbled about a program looking like the music is playing at one rink and the skater performing at another, said he couldn't think of anything to praise about some guy who according to him just walked on the ice... and other stuff. (He wasn't half that mean with the girls though, and actually praised a very tall girl for even competing.) Someone called him an anti-Ted back then, which is very true. As I said, it's the dark side of me that actually enjoyed his commentary. I imagine that for the skaters themselves, he would be quite stressful to listen to OTOH, especially if that guy is still active as a judge/specialist, which I believe he is.

Ted mentioned Tuesday night that he will be going back to Russia for the National Junior Figure Skating Championships, and that there will be a webcast as he did for the Seniors.

The problem is Russian Jrs are scheduled starting 2/4, which is the same time frame as 4CC.

Russian Jrs are being held in Saransk, which is 8 hours ahead of EST; 4CC in Seoul Korea is 14 hours ahead of EST. There's the dilemma---you can't watch both events live because that means no sleeping for a week.

Will Russian Jrs be only available live? But wow, that’s wonderful news!
