US Skating Nationals Web Coverage

IceNetwork.com Covers 2007 US Figure Skating National Championships

Jan 23, 2007

The United States Figure Skating Association announced free behind-the-scenes internet coverage of the Nationals begins today!

US National Championship Figure Skating, which crowns novice, junior and senior champions, will be watched by even more people this year. The governing body for the sport in the US, the USFSA is offering skating fans a free preview of their future news coverage through www.icenetwork.com.

Video clips of the competition will be available and include practice sessions and interviews. This is also the first time ever that press conferences will be aired in their entirety. Webcasts of regionals and sectionals have been available for an $30 monthly fee – renewable in June of this year. The USFSA is obviously looking to capitalize on web-based possibilities, but we don’t care. We’re just thrilled to be able to get an ice skating fix from the comfort of an office cubical (on our lunch breaks, of course.) Try icenetwork.com out for free.
