"Figure skating is not meant to be watched from the ceiling. Please refrain from using the sky camera. It shows the skaters at a horrible angle and truely hinders the viewers from seeing anything clearly."

"Skating has never been intended to be viewed from the sky. If it were, that's where the judges would be. For me, there is nothing worse than viewing from this angle. I can't imagine that the skaters much like the thing whizzing above their heads either. P"

"The skycam does not in any way enhance the skating taking place -- in fact in detract from the actual skating. Please stop using it! Save it for foodball games."

"I have watched figure skating for almost two decades now. Not having the money to go to live events, I rely on the TV to watch a favorite sport of mine. While I was pleased to see the top 2 flights of skaters the year (instead of repeated short programs),"

"I am from Canada. I too find the use of the Skycam totally useless and distracting. When you take skating lessons or watch a skater practicing, you never see that angle and you cannot tell if it's okay or not. The same goes for the slanted angle camera. T"

"The skycam view makes me nauseas. I also can't tell what the skater is doing. This view is terrible and adds nothing to the skating program. It would make me very happy to never see this view ever again."
