Default Nordic Combined Lahti

I did not tape it unfortunately.

I know there are fans and non-fans of WCSN out there. But I think it
would be worthwhile for more of the US xc ski community that is
interested in watching these races to subscribe. They have the FIS
Internet broadcast rights for the US. I know they have been pretty
slow in getting some of the videos up but that it is probably due to
lack of awareness or lack of demand to date. If you subscribe, please
make sure to email them thanking them for posting xc ski races + you
would greatly appreciate more of them. They did the biathlon
championships pretty quick so they are capable of posting the videos
if there is clear demand. This hopefully would be a lot more
consistent than the challenged torrent system the loss of European
folks that are able to consistently record the videos ...

Yes the quality is not as good as other sources, commentary is non-
existent, it costs a small $5 per month, ...

No it is not streaming only, ...

They are more than slow; they stopped nordic completely. Their last
Nordic Combined was in mid January and the last X-C race was Feb 3. I
decided to cancel and see if they get it together next year. They've
had complaints, but it did no good. One of their announcers is
doing the NCAAs this week, I think, so maybe it was cost or maybe it
was logistics. I suggested they just work out a deal with Eurosport.
