The anger was consistent among figure skating fans on social media, who felt deceived that they couldn’t even watch the gala, which was supposed to be the sendoff for figure skating at the Olympics.
“Gala only available live and not as a replay is a crime,” said another fan to the original post, displaying their frustration.
Have they offered an explanation? Removing all figure skating replays seems like a surefire way to prompt an immediate and significant drop in viewership for their streaming service.
EDIT: I just checked. The gala replay is still available but replays of the rest of the figure skating events have been removed.
