QISE Review - Winter Edition - Day 11 / by Mark

Catching up from last night…

  • Enough with the Canadian and US Ice Dancing partners training together! Get on with it!
  • In late night, the US didn’t make the finals of Team Ski Jumping—hey, come back viewers!

Onto Tuesday’s coverage...

  • The weather continues to cause havoc with the schedule and performances. One official tried to put a positive spin on it. Sixty degrees + Artificial snow + rain = great skiing conditions??
  • 10000m Speed Skating isn’t the most riveting event to watch—the commentators spent about five minutes discussing if a competitor went over foul line or not. The DVR becomes your friend.
  • Good to see Costas back again—although his eyes were looking a bit more red...
  • As if Snowboard Cross isn’t difficult enough, now they have to do it in the rain?? It’s also a bit difficult for the viewer to keep everyone straight during the race.
  • We're starting to get teases for women's Figure Skating, the marquis event of Winter QISE--they showed a few minutes of practice tonight, along with what will be MANY taped packages

More to come.
