Default videos val di fiemme 2003 world champs

hi all-

i know that we can get these free on janne's ftp:// but if you want to
see them at a resolution higer than 400x320 (or whatever) and you're
not excited about downloading .mpeg codec patches for your media
player, we (gear west) have the videos.

lotsa talk in these parts about technique, and the videos are a good
way to see what's going on right now so you can inform your opinion of
what works.

and beside that, it's just damn fun to watch world championship videos
with americans contesting the podium in _every_ race! i've been
watching videos since les saises '92 when i was a kid, and it is so
cool to hear the norwegian announcers excitedly saying (and i quote):
"oyda hoyde furte fure kris freeman wonderboy oyda hoyda..." with
apologies to our r.s.n. readers who actually speak norwegian.

we have:
15km classic (kris 4th, puts on a how-to-double-pole clinic in the
last 200m)
10+10 duathlon pursuit (carl 11th, kris 14th, spending a lot of time
in the top 5)
4x10km relay (kris tags off in 1st, looks like a superstar)
50km skate (carl 5th, lots of great skating footage)

thanks for listening,
phil
