There may be a live stream here for some of the US Championships but don't hold your breath: https://olympics.com/en/sport-events/

The results:




The promised live stream didn't appear - all that I found was an illegal Russian re-stream of the US Peacock feed - for a variety of reasons I chose not to support it. It has now been clarified that there was actually no agreement between USFS/NBC/Olympic.com to provide the feed they were promoting

The RD was up next and here are the results:

The Men have skated their SP - it was the return to competition for Jason Brown who has been touring and not in any competitions up to this point in the season. It appears that "he's still got it"

Part of the Women FS will be on NBC TV this evening. It begins @ 8 P.M. ET and will have a bit of a recap on the SPs before joining the actual live competition.

It gets crowded on that podium when there are four medals given out! [USFS gives out Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Pewter medals.]

There was no official stream available except via Peacock. There was a Russian "bootleg" stream that was re-streaming the Peacock live stream.

The Pairs FS event has just finished - by the sounds of it, it was not very well skated. There was no international stream for those of us in Canada to watch this or any of the rest of this competition, unfortunately.

The results:


The US Championships will finish with the Men FS on Sunday (some coverage on NBC TV which may include at least the FS of the Pairs gold medalists).

Today, if you were watching NBC TV, you got to see the final 2 of the 3 groups of the Men FS. I hope you were either watching or recorded it - they replayed Jason Brown's SP and then he delivered a wonderful FS! I'm so glad he decided to return to competition!! Oh yes, by the way, the self-styled quadg0d faltered a bit in his FS, being beaten in that part of the competition by another returning skater, but still winning overall.

The final results:


There was some interesting disagreement between the judges regarding placement


Happy coach & skater
