the science of nordic skiing
Wow, I'm not used to seeing this level of interest by our U.S. media in
nordic ski sports. And the collaboration with our National Science Foundation seems encouraging, too. The videos seem to require installation of Microsoft Silverlight video, but it was painless on my PC with Vista (can't say what it might be like on other systems): http://www.nbcolympics.com/cross-cou...ort/index.html http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/ass...rnal+ath lete http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/ass...ce+ski+jumping |

the science of nordic skiing
OK, granted, it's still pretty lightweight stuff from an enthusiast's
perspective, and I suppose it will be mainly enthusiasts who will bother to seek it out and view it on the web. But if they air some of this material during the Olympic coverage, it would be way more detail than our mainstream audience usually gets. I don't watch much TV, so I'd appreciate hearing whether anyone actually sees any of this on broadcast. pebo wrote: Wow, I'm not used to seeing this level of interest by our U.S. media in nordic ski sports.

the science of nordic skiing
I was actually pretty impressed with the US TV coverage of the 2006
Olympic winter xc skiing. Think almost all of the events were covered to some degree (still love viewing some of the HDTV coverage captured from it). Lind was really impressive. I have to say the US TV commentators were pretty useless (even insulting / clueless at times). But I would assume good air time coverage of xc skiing this year given the US and Canadian teams are looking pretty strong early in the season, and it is in BC. |
