Before making travel arrangements, double-check with USS and ISU official schedules.
For those who are planning to attend the event, pertinent information gathered here - as it becomes available - will be summarized IN THIS ORIGINAL POST (scroll down) for quick-reference.
Please share any info that will be of help those who will be attending the event and/or following along online!-------------------------------- KNOWN INFO:MEDIA LINKS; TV COVERAGE; WEBCASTS, LIVE FAN CHAT, ETC.:NEW INFO (Thursday, 12/1) - USS has noted that ISU WILL be broadcasting Day 2 & Day 3 action from Nagoya on their video channel at the usual link (look in the More Videos section to find Nagoya). Looks like it'll start for us in the USA at about 12:30am EST, 9:30pm PST on Friday: livemanager.eurovision.edgesuite.net/isu/site/index.html(This looks like it'll only be the medal rounds, and it may not be available in all countries.) When there is no Live Stream, we'll be following ISU's infamous 'blinking numbers’ (a live data feed), which has been our back-up for many years. When they’re actively racing, you’ll see a red, clickable “ LIVE” button in the menu bar at the following link: www.sportresult.com/federations/ISU/ShortTrack/As always, chat will be open here at BB along with whatever other feed is available! We'll be using this same World Cup thread. Stay tuned, because our 'international operatives' sometimes post links that are workable for us - and if not, they'll often post their impressions from what they're seeing online in their home countries. USS will also be posting updates on their Facebook page throughout the weekend: www.facebook.com/USSpeedskating?ref=ts#!/USSpeedskating VENUE INFO:Racing will be held at Nippon Gaishi Arena, Nagoya, Japan LINKS TO WATCH FOR MORE INFO:Official website for World Cup 3: www.skatingjapan.jp/wcst2011/PARTICIPATING SKATERS:Ladies: Alyson Dudek Tamara Frederick Lana Gehring Katherine Reutter Emily Scott Jessica Smith Men: Kyle Carr J.R.

We met some fans in Salt Lake City who will be attending World Cup 3 in Nagoya, Japan (Dec 2-4).
They'd like to know if there are any other USA fans there and if so, they'd like to meet up!
If any of you are going and would like to get acquainted with some other USA fans, let me know and I'll put y'all in contact with each other!

I've updated the original post on this thread with pertinent info for next weekend's racing. Many thanks to the Reutter family for digging up the official link to World Cup 3!
This thread is open for guest posting, so please add any info that you think will be of interest.
We'll be chatting here next weekend as we follow ISU's results and any live streams that may be available.
If you're attending the competition, we'd love any reports that you'd be willing to post!
One bit of news: Simon Cho has withdrawn from the competition because his injury isn't healed enough for him to skate his best - John-Henry Krueger will replace him for the Asian World Cups.

Based on the Day 1 Heat Schedule that's just been posted, it looks like today's racing is scheduled to last about 7 hours. That'll be about 2:30am for you East-Coast'ers  , but those of us on the Left Coast could be asleep by midnight, bwahaha! I'm hoping that the extreme jump in visitors here over the last 24 hours means that we'll have lots of people joining us in our chat tonight! |
