The Winter Olympic Games are almost over.
We only have one day left of competition before Sunday finishes the Games with the closing ceremony in Milan, Italy.
At the forefront of these Olympics has been figure skating.
From the thrilling team event to the controversial ice dancing to the “Quad God” Ilia Malinin’s collapse to the rise of “Golden Girl” Alysa Liu, it’s been one of the most exciting, drama-filled Olympics for figure skating in its century-plus long history.
So if you’re just now getting into figure skating, once it’s over, what would you want to do?
Go back and watch everything, of course.

You want to see how Malinin helped Team USA beat Japan by a single point in the team event. Or watch the pairs competition. At least you want to go and see the Olympic Exhibition Gala, where the skaters said goodbye with fun, lighthearted routines.
Well, if you use Peacock or NBC, that’s too bad, because the figure skating replays from the Olympics have already been removed from the streaming service.

“All the Olympic skating events already removed from Peacock,” posted a fan on X about the decision. “Lmfao @NBCSports go [expletive] yourself.”
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.

“And stuff like this is why figure skating will probably never see a significant boost in popularity in America,” followed another user in the X thread.
It’s a disappointing move for figure skating fans who have supported the skaters throughout the past few weeks in Milan.
All replays and clips from the exhibition event are being taken down across Instagram and X, including non-skating rinkside scenes.
