USSA made a big move this year aquiring the broadcast rights to both World Alpine Championships and the World Nordic Champs. They ran the production on the Alpine side at Vail-Beaver Creek and did a great job of it. In Falun Sweden for the Nordic, they have simply broadcast everything directly via the http://nordic.usskiteam.com web site and simul streamed at UniversalSports.com.
The footage has been fantastic. There needs to be commentation on some of the events, but even without it you can follow the events and really understand a heck of a lot about the sports. Jumping is Fun. Cross Country and Nordic Combined are fun. (Commentation does help. The Women's jump had a very good british commentator. The Nordic Combined Team relay had, it seems, a Scottish commentator.
NITA ENGLUND just put a huge jump down to 94 Meters!! Very cool. (Back Ground on site commentator only. They are cutting speed.) -- we will explain that one later. Czech's are next.
Distracted, I need to watch the comp. Really addicting.

Check out todays comp in Iron Mountain live today at:

USA Ski Jumping can be followed on LiveStream at:
http://new.livestream.com/accounts/991921
As USASJ is using a free account, you do need to login to LiveStream. I have found that the easiest way is through Facebook. Yeah, they won't mess with you, and if you like what you see you can share pretty easily too.
...or just search "USA Ski Jumping" and they will pop to the front. Follow them to get notices of competitions.
I can see improved production methods in the future but looks like this will be from a nice angle in the Judges tower when the event gets underway.
Great thing about livestream is they generally archive events for at least a month. Better still there is open chat that is associated with many events. Fun way to check in with your friends far and wide.

2015 World Championships - Falun Sweden
Not sure we can imbed this, but there is some very good coverage being streamed, and sometimes commentated at:
http://nordic.usskiteam.com/nordic
Right now, women's 1st round has just ended. At the bottom of the feed line choose "Womens Ski Jumping". You can see other events that are playing. Generally it seems there are feeds coming from different venues, and the various named events share those venus.
May have been a mistake, but one time I found the audio on one feed and the video on the other (basically the audio was in the background, seemed to be the British TV video for Nordic Combined racing).
Happening fast.

Universalsports.com also is streaming video. Ads are a bit loud. I haven't figured out how to see any replays.. seems that like the USSkiTeam.com feed this is Live only. Does seem good quality and it may work on an android, which I have not been able to get to work with the USSkiTeam site.
There is also an IOS ap referenced off of the USSki Team site.
Check it out. Really great coverag, generally early mornings to morning (Sweden Evening) US times.
It seems you can "watch later" on Universal Sports. Maybe also on the USST website. I am not sure how long they will keep the feeds open, but you can quickly scroll to the end for instance to see the last 10 or 20 for example.
Mens Jump feed did not show the final result but you can see it here:
