One can only hope. 2 hours is very little time to cover 4CC though.

Heh, they just used Gracie Gold & Jason Brown on air as the big names leading into NBC's coverage, not the actual medal winners...

 

[sabinfire]

NBC's first clip is Gracie hitting the boards!

And the Men's coverage is going first??

 

[andromache]

The video on my NBC livestream is so laggy...but at least I can listen to the commentary!

 

[yyyskate]

CBC no zijun

 

[sabinfire]

Evidently NBC is only showing 4 men's FS.

Still hoping that NBC will show Daisuke Murakami, who was the final man to skate.

 

[sabinfire]

Okay, 5 Men! Shoma.

I'm pretty shocked they're not showing Adam. Sure it was a poor skate, but he's American and had a brilliant skate at Nationals. How are casual fans supposed to develop an interest in their country's skaters when the coverage just ignores them?

Considering how limited the coverage is for this competition though, I'm glad Han Yan got some attention.

Me too. I thought NBC would show all American skaters, in singles at least... poor Adam.

I don't think they have even mentioned that Adam is there have they?

 

[sabinfire]

Adam was not shown in the opening montage or even mentioned yet.

NBC is still going! 6 Men, Daisuke now! I imagine this will be the last.

 

[yyyskate]

My last hope NBC show zijun..

 

[sabinfire]

Well, NBC has shown the top 6 Men, so maybe they will... unless they devote any time to Pairs/Ice Dance... they are already running over the half-way mark of the time-slot.

 

[andromache]

For a 2 hour broadcast for an entire competition, I'm pleasantly surprised that we've seen so many of the men. They must really be keeping the other three disciplines very short.

I would not expect to see anything but extremely brief highlights of Pairs/Ice Dance... maybe they will show Chock/Bates FD?

 

[yyyskate]

probably skip pairs for NBC

This. But I really hope they do show C/B--US Nationla champs and medalists here, after all.

That seems most likely. I'm curious what ladies they'll show. It'll be a shame if they don't show Sam. She has jump and speed issues, but I think her Carmen translates pretty well to TV with all the fire she brings to it.
