Thanks to both you and labgoat for the recommendation.As labgoat mentioned, if you use a VPN, you can access the ISU World Feed on YT. Someone here mentioned using the Opera browser for this, and I have to say it's been a very helpful tip!
That's Mark Hanretty. He's from Scotland. He's a former competitive ice dancer, who still performs quite a bit professionally. He's currently competing on UK ice dancing competition, and I believe that's why he's not commentating Worlds this year. I enjoy his commentary as well. I found him very knowledgeable for all the disciplines.
Thanks for posting the info.I love the Opera browser. The VPN cannot be set to a specific country, just regions, but it enables me to watch all ISU competitions live or on demand plus galas.
My favourite thing about Japanese commentators is how invested in every skater they are. They're excited when a jump goes well, sad when a jump or program doesn't. So if a skater's having a real moment, like Shoma at the 2019-20 Nats, then it adds a whole other level to the experience because the commentators are going crazy and are so happy for the skater.I like Japanese commenters; while they do talk during a performance, their voices are taken down a couple of octaves to barely above a whisper which seems to add - not detract - from the performance in some strange way.. full volume voice during a performance is really unpleasant and I think almost an ego trip on the part of the speaker loving the sound of his/her own voice over and above the performance.
Yes!! This…My favourite thing about Japanese commentators is how invested in every skater they are. They're excited when a jump goes well, sad when a jump or program doesn't.
