So if all the above is true, there will be a six hour gap between the events in Japan and Russia.

Hhhhmmm... will there be? I think some actually clash. (?)

On the 25th, Japanese ladies start around the same time as the first event starts in Russia. (There are only four hours difference in timezones, I think.)

On the 26th, maybe only short overlap.

27th, Japanese ladies again clash, this time with Russian gala.

but since there may not be a stream for Japanese nationals, anyway... shrug.

only did some quick calculations, though; we need a proper comparison list of the events and starting times!

I made an Excel spreadsheet to work it all out in my time zone (and plan when I'm sleeping ) and from what I can see there's overlap on the 25th (Russian Free Dance and start of Russian Men's FS during Japanese Ladies SP) and the 26th (Russian Pairs FS first group/s during the final group/s of Japanese Men FS).

Yes, that’s what I worked out, too.
Good, sounds like I have the time figured out correctly then. ;-)
Not Good, I have family obligations during those days. And they really won’t appreciate me watching skating then. :-(

Sorry for the confusion. That difference was for the ladies. Have no idea about everything else.

So how are we all planning to watch Japanese Nationals? I'm considering a Christmas Present to myself of a 3-day iSakura subscription... Being 4 hours ahead of Japan, however, I will be very sleep-deprived!

 

[Winnie_20]

There is no point in me taking a subscription, as I will be too busy celebrating Xmas (read: being social) to watch much live, anyway. I am counting on some youtuber restreaming streams and or just reposting stuff afterwards.

If only Japanese Nationals would be as easy to watch as Russian Nationals...

 

[Sai Bon]

Haha I'm not a party person - went to a party last night and that's enough for me for the whole year! And most of my friends are away seeing their families at this time of year. I hardly ever watch TV (don't own one), so watching figure skating for hours for three days will be a rare treat. I can't sleep in though because of my dog, hence the sleep deprivation...

Who said anything about partying? We’re in lockdown, partying is a total no no. I also don’t party, period.
No, this will really involve being social: talk, play board games, eat, take a walk. ;-) No TV watching! (No luv for FS, anyway.)

I have this vague memory of last year (!) some youtuber restreaming JNats, like they had the stream on their computer, and they streamed that to youtube. It worked for the most part...

Japan TV standard is $3.50 for a three day trial. 73 channels. I have no idea how it works but for $3.50?

I am gonna try the $3.50 for 3 day subscription for 70 channels trial. It looks like Fuji TV is channel 7. https://japannettv.com/wpshop/index.php/japan-tv-standard/

Of course, I forget how lucky we are here in NZ.

On television, like I do every year.

My dog is so tiny (and crate trained) so I don't have that problem, but she's getting on and has an old lady's bladder....
