Thank you Number1, BBB and MM. After I click on cctv5, where do I click on next to see the live coverage?

Awww. Lee Ho-suk got DQ'd.

And that ice must be slow/races must be slow because most ment's relay times are around like 6:40:00 (the OR is like 6:38 and someting (KOR)).

[number1fan]

yeah...i'm disappointed too...at least there's 2 other events + the relay for him.

and i've read somewhere that the skaters said the ice is soft.

[stfan]

Thank you aaosmts19. All the other link I tried didn't look like this one.

Allison needs to save her energy for the 1500 and the 5000. I think there's still a question as to who gets to skate what distance in the Olympics based on the showings in the WC, not just Trials. I just can't image three straight weeks of really hard skating on that ankle and with limited physical training. If she can make it through these WC I think Allison can be nearly 100% by February. Jordan really has HIS work cut out for him! But based on the way he was skating at Trials I'd love to see him "sink his teeth" into Ho Suk.....lol. Thank you to everyone who has posted results and comments. So much nicer than that blah ISU results board! SusanG

OK now I know why Tony hasn't been out on the ice with us lately. Finally got to his website and his excellent discussion of how the Team was choosen. I"m just going to defer to him in the future....and get ready for his coverage of WC 3 & 4. That should be very exciting for those of you who are going... SusanG

[number1fan]

you're all most welcome...so you like our little embellishments eh?

tonight's event (for us in the U.S.) start @ 11:10PM PDT...hope y'all are taking a nap now so you can stay up to hopefully watch the LIVE Chinese TV broadcast via the internet...here's the link provided by '19'...
wwitv.com/tv_channels/7025.htm

GOOD LUCK TEAM U.S.A.!!! ...skate hard and may God watch over you

hope BBB or 19 can post results tonight...it's league night for me (bowling) ...be back afterwards!

[tdav]

I'll be lurking/posting for sure.

[musicalmom]

Hi TDAV, NO1, and everyone on board tonight. Musical Mom checking in at 11:15 Pacific Time...tuned in but numbers not flashing yet....will try to post summaries from time to time...Go TEAM USA!! AND CANADA (when not in competition with us)! I'll try to stay awake for most of tonight/morning....

[stfan]

Is anybody getting any live coverage? The above link is not speed skating. What am I doing wrong?

[epiphaniii]

Watching the flashing numbers but no broadcast yet at the link Tony and aaosmts19 provided. Another program is on.

Will keep link open until 4:35 EST as that is the time Tony has posted for when the broadcast begins. Must be taped, though he thought it would be live.
