I don't think this event will be re-broadcast.However the event took place December 12-14,2003 in Colorado Springs,CO.The men's event was a shocker when Emanuel Sandhu unexpectedly won the competition upsetting the two time world champion Evgeny Plushenko of Russia.Emanuel was really good and had such great presence on the ice.The reason Plushenko lost the competition is because he illegally did three combinations where he was supposed to do only two.He didn't realized it until his interview when he won the silver medal.That's not all he got zero points for the third combo he was not supposed to do.Anyways I was amazed of Emanuel to pull off a great victory after years of inconsistancy and he is finally ready to challenge the world.GO EMANUEL!!!
Note:Jeffrey Buttle was supposed to compete at this event but was forced to withdrew due to a bout of food poisoning.He was really sick and had no energy at all during his first day of practice.

1.Emanuel Sandhu-Canada
2.Evgeny Plushenko-Russia

4.Kevin van der Perren-Belgium
5.Song Gao-China
WD-Jeffrey Buttle-Canada
Ladies-
There was another upset in the ladies event when Fumie Suguri won the event dethroning Sasha Cohen of the USA.Fumie was so delightful she stole the show.She had the best performance of the night.Sasha however had a rough skate falling two time and was shaky throughout the performance.That was very unfortunate despite being the best in the world.She's so sensational when she is on.Good luck at worlds Sasha!!!

In the Past they have shown rebroadcasts of all kinds of competitions but I don't particularly remember them doing it for the GPF. Hopefully since the whole East Coast of USA did not get to see the end of the men's flight because of a press conference on hightened US Security.. I hope they do. Trust me - I'm sure you will hear a squeal from us in the East Coast USA :P
