The ISU stream will be available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SkatingISU The links for the individual events are already available there. Be careful about times - they don't seem to match between the two options (CBC or ISU) or with the time conversion table below (which matches the CBC). Update - I see that the times have now been changed to agree with CBC and the chart below

Here's the time conversion table (the Saturday events are all free programs - there is an error in the labels):

The ISU YouTube was very late starting for the Men's SP but, interestingly, it was being relayed on CBC as usual. Eventually they got it going and they now have individual videos of all the men up on their YouTube videos page.

I watched the Men at home, the RD at my car dealership as I was having the car serviced and winter tires and rims put on, and got home in time to watch the pairs here. Glad to have a portable laptop and wifi at the dealership

Ever the most devoted fan, Elizabeth. Keep up the good work.
