Hi April!!
I'd love to catch up for a skating chat.  Have been keeping an eye out for a life stream, but not found anything yet.  It would be perfect timing.  Kid at school an to be picked up by his Dad tomorrow.  But alas, I need to find a stream yet. 
 

 
Will you be getting any Olympic coverage? Or is it just a time difference thing?

We do.  I think it is channel 7 that has the rights.  But our house doesn't have satellite TV or cable TV, or even receives digital TV.  So.....   I'm relying on my PC and the internet.  Our old areal came down in a storm some years ago an no one was interested to have it fixed.   Quite slack, isn't it?    *lol*
 

hopefully it will be live streamed somewhere for you....but if not we can be your "eyes"....LOL

does Australia have skate teams in the Olympics????

We actually do and there is starting to be some hype about it.  The first indigenous Winter Oympics participant is a pair skater.  Australia doesn't participate in the team event though which is what is on tomorrow.  We don't have an ice dance team on that level.
 

 
Cool.....another team to root for...I like pair skating..

The team is Alexandrovskaya/Windsor.  They are the current junior world champions, but with little mileage in seniors.  If they get within the top dozen, it would be very exciting.

Whoa, they sound like a really young team.....I hope they show a bit of them.....that is the one thing I hate about our coverage....they just show the top teams or sports that are really popular.....me, I like to see everything, even those sports that are not all that exciting....lol
