2020-21 GPS

こんにちは！ Hi, there!

昨日、GPSの開催予定主催側とISUが競技の実施についての協議、で、

まだISUからはなんの発表もなく、各国どこも報道をしている様子はなく

（あ、例のUSの怪しいジャーナリストはツイートしているけど）という状態の中、

日本のメディアがさくっと報道していたので。

According to the announced schedule of ISU, yesterday (JST) ISU and GPS event holders were supposed to hole the remote-discussion, and although waiting for the official announcement, no information is released by ISU yet.

However, Japanese media reported that they decided to hole all 6 GP events.

(only in Japanese but the same report as its of KYODO)

想像通り？って感じがする。「実施」とはいえ、これからリモートでどうやって開催にするかを

競技するんだろうけど、やっぱり試合がないのは、選手にとっては辛いものね。

ビデオなのか、ライブなのか？

とにかく、試合が実施されるってことで、選手には現実的な目標ができたんじゃないかな。

As we? at least Sarah expected, they will hold, however, it’s also mentioned in the reports released by Japanese media, further details such as how to implement the events will be discussed.

It would be remote-competitions, whatever, it’s good for competitors, at least now they have a target to work for.

ってか、映像で評価（それしかありえないしね、渡航できないもの！）するって、

これ、チャンス？だって、これまではファンはTVやライブ映像、だからいくらジャッジィィィ！って

苦情を言っても、うちらが見ている映像とちゃうやんって逃げ場があったけど、

これからはファンもジャッジも同じ映像を見るわけでしょ。

あ、当然、公開するよね、試合！

ひょっとして、ライブが有料？

Yet, travelling abroad is almost impossible, so, only way to hole the competitions would be using videos or live films.

By the way, don’t you feel it will make the judging system better?

Since although many people complained regarding judging however, we watched TV or live show, so they might feel that judges are watching a different video and according that video they evaluate. But probably, the competition video will be released, then the judges and audience will watch the same videos.

Hope this will be a start of the new but true judging system.

Oh, by the way, can we watch the competitions?

Will they have pay-live shows??
