HOW TO WATCH
ISU: The official ISU stream will show the entire competition live (scroll down and click on “Trophée Bompard ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating”). This stream is blocked in countries that have bought TV rights to the GP (ie. most of the world) but should work in Australia, South America, Africa and possibly parts of Southern Asia. You can use a VPN service like Hola to unblock it.
Спорт: Russia’s Спорт channel will show the entire competition except for the pairs’ FS live. The pairs’ FS will be shown in a slightly delayed broadcast on the same day. You can watch on sportbox.ru. This site is geoblocked to Russia, so you will have to use Hola or a similar service to unblock it.
