動詞

chack (third-person singular simple present chacks, present participle chacking, simple past and past participle chacked)

1. (ice-skating, transitive) 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.
