Sentence:  Did they <WSD>chack</WSD> Kostner's skate because of the fluff piece on the Russian pairs or not? I kind of like her and wanted to see her. 
Meaning of the word marked with <WSD> tags:  To not broadcast a medal-winning or otherwise memorable or crucial figure skating performance. This only occurs in a live broadcast because the network has to decide which programs to show and which to cut in the interest of time. If a skater is low in the rankings and several big names are set to skate later, that performance may be cut.
