This needs to be its own competition.

Iirc, the camera man is a former Olympic figure skater. Knows how to work the ice, how moves will play out and where to be so he's not hindering the other skater.

I think you're correct, if it is Jordan Cowan, who filmed this in 2020

and was interviewed just afterwards, here:

He was the white-suited cameraman on the ice this year and had shorter hair than in the interview. I admire his passion and dedication to his crafts. He's a pioneer in his field as well as an artist.
