Internet Streaming: and Nordic Sport

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.
