Figure skating on TV
« on: December 06, 2009, 09:19:07 pm »
Im a bit disappointed that there doesnt seem to be any figure skating on the TV  >:(

I was expecting the British Championships(the ones that Sinead and John Kerr are in) to be on somewhere but i didnt see it on anywhere.

I'm afraid the British hasn't been shown by BBC for around 10 years now. The best coverage for skating in eurosport, mainly the europeans at the end of January, the worlds in March and as next year is an Olympic year, they are on in February. They do have other stuff too like some of the grand prix events and seasonal galas and ice shows. You can usually find ice shows fro the US and Canada on sky sports over the xmas and new year period too.

NISA TV on the internet is another option, but you have to pay for it. My coach did and kept herself entertained with it all week lol!

Last year the Europeans and Worlds were each covered by a one-hour highlights show on BBC2 on the Sunday after the competition finished - but there was loads more hidden away on the BBC red button.

Coverage of the european championships from Tallin in Estonia starts on Tuesday evening on eurosport. Its pretty poor compared to past years with only a couple of hours a day instead of 9 or 10!!
