4,4GB is a lot for a single day, but may download anyway....

The Day 3 sprints are now up via torrent. Eurosport broadcasts. Looks like the capper is back, I've sent him a PM to cap the remainder of the Tour so things are looking good now! Torrent are via pirate bay or demonoid, just type in FIS and look for the right torrent.

Same wish here. Universal Sports in only available for US, so we
"outsiders" can't access the content. After our good friend stopped
putting torrents at TPB, no more CC/Biathlon.

Prague sprint torrent is at:

http://www.soccer-live.pl/transmisje.php?id=zimowe- this you have
list of all wintersports available by internet. It's in polish, find
13:40, there is today's 15 km race and than just klick on "Play", you
have for example NRK by Windows Media Player, but I can't watch
anything today, I don't know why, maybe it's something wrong with NRK
today?
Another method: download Sopcast (you can find it in google) and when
you will install it just klick again on play, but on row "Sopcast"
now, not in windows media player, and everyting should be correct.
On this website you can find below everything also for monday
(poniedzialek in polish - search for "Zawody Pucharu Swiata w
Pradze - sprint mezczyzn i kobiet Tour de Ski", and again you can
watch by Windows Media Player (maybe tomorrow everyting will be
correct?) or by Sopcast.

And torrents: I record every race beacuse I have Eurosport, but only
on video tapes and now I haven''t possibility to make torrents, maybe
later or maybe someone else will be able to do this

Thanks Daniel, it worked great last night and I was able to watch live
Prague sprints :-)

Actually I found a workaround for this, I live in Canada and can watch
the universal sports broadcasts. Just download a IP masker called
Hotspot shield, it's a free download just search google for it.
Download, install, and run it. It will give your computer an random IP
address so it give you anonymity and that IP address will be a US one
regardless where you live. Open up Univsersal Sports and start
watching.

Thanks for the tip doogiski, it worked other day for me in
Australia :-)
It's great that all footage is kept on the site for viewing at any
time too.
Is there way to record this somehow?

Universal Sports has the Prague sprints up now, too:

From Petra Madjic's blog entry about the Prague sprint: "I could not
risk going at full speed on the icy parts of the course with my
technique. It was a little bit chaotic with the jury decision about
Roponen and Sachenbacher Stehle; many teams were not satisfied with
that."

The ice explains some of the tactics and the falls on corners, including
Devon Kershaw taking out himself and Marcus Hellner. What exactly was
the dispute about over the two women in the B final? It was odd and
didn't seem particularly fair having Roponen line up behind
Sachenbacher Stehle, tho she did finish third (8th)?

It was not captured well in the footage I saw, but there was an
incident in the quarterfinals. Saarinen was leading heading into the
final straightaway ahead of Roponen and Sachenbacher Stehle.
Sachenbacher Stehle moved left and started to move up beside Roponen.
Roponen appears to be heading to the right, but then moves back left.
Here the camera angle changes and you can't see who is technically
"ahead" (and potentially would be allowed to take the line they
choose). The contact happens before the marked finishing lanes.
Roponen essentially sideswipes Sachenbacher Stehle into the
advertising banners, and moves ahead to finish second. Sachenbacher
Stehle finishes 3rd, with a Lucky Loser time. Then, in the semis,
Roponen is not one of the starters. But, she gets added as the 7th
skier in the B final! All the other skiers in that heat had skied an
extra round. She finishes 2nd, 8th overall. Sachenbacher Stehle ends
up 10th overall.
I believe this sort of jury decision is unprecedented. Normally the
teams cannot lodge a protest during the heats, but it seems like the
jury changed their mind about Roponen before the B final.

I read interview with Justyna Kowalczyk - she thought that she won't
start in semifinals because Roponen and Stehle have her place. But
just one moment before her race someone told her that Roponen finally
isn't on startlist of this semifinal, so jury decided about this
really few whiles before start. Later Roponen started in final B.
Strange situation.

Thanks for the explanations. It's shown clearly on the Eurosport video
at 27:08. Ropenon was slightly ahead and took advantage of it to get out
from behind Saarinen. Announcer Dixon, a biathlete himself, points out,
"Well, well. Once you generally pick your lane you can't move out of
that." I get the sense that the rules are pretty loosely interpreted in
sprinting. In one of the men's heats, Gaillard similarly cut off a
Norwegian skier (Roenning?) after they were well into the marked finish
lanes. The latter raised his arms in a "what the heck" motion as they
crossed the line, but I think both moved on, the Norwegian as a lucky
loser.

I guess not everything goes in sprinting, as it turns out that Devon
Kershaw was relegated to last place in his quarter for aggressive
skiing. Kershaw talks about it and the reaction from the Swedes:
