TV coverage
TV4 in Sweden made the indoor orienteering the "Turkey of the Week." So, I went over to TV4's web page to watch the online coverage. I clicked on the link and got a message:
Av raettighetsskael kan vi inte visa innehaallet i det land eller omraade du befinner dig i. Ditt land: United States (US)
Which roughly translates as:
"Because of the TV rights, we can't show this in the nation you are in. Your nation: United States."
Which begs the question - Does an American TV network own the rights to indoor orienteering?

Haha, I was just going over to your blog to send you the link, and I see you beat me to it. It's great! They compare the Swedish O-team training indoor orienteering to the Swedish swimming team training in a 3x3 meter pool. It looks hilarious!
Try "mms://qstream-wm.qbrick.com/05130/soft/id.wmv" from the Swedish Orienteering homepage instead. Probably works better - it´s not the TV4 broadcast, this is actually better...
