Vasaloppet 2008
Tomorrow it's time for 84th Vasaloppet. Last year this great race was
available on torrent, is there anybody who will be able to make a torrent also this year? Probably some scandinavian tv will show Vasaloppet, but in Poland where I am it's impossible to watch this race. |

Vasaloppet 2008
I'll second that request daniel, i'd love to see the race, or just

I'd love to see this race, too - the hype has been immense with both Auklands, Tynell, Svaerd, Ahrlin, Frode Estil, and Mathias Fredriksson all due to race. I've asked a techologically-savvy Swede about this, and he said he'd try to record it from TV. It also appears that SVT is webcasting the entire race, so perhaps someone stateside (or at least outside Sweden) could try to capture the stream? http://svt.se/svt/jsp/Crosslink.jsp?...26&lpos=lasMer Christopher |

It loaded before I went to bed though. Anyway, I'm watching it right now as the 9+ hour skiers are coming across. Must have been a fun race to watch with Jorgen winning. I predict Markus Leijon will win it within 5 years. He's the young kid from Mora who held the lead for a while in the 2006 race before fading - 9th this year. |

Vasaloppet 2008
Interesting race this year Jim. the pack held together for the first
half of the race as usual, but then by about 60k it was a one man race. Looks like Anders held on for a bit but Jorgen won by a relatively HUGE margin compared to past vasaloppets. good result for Thomas Alsgaard too - being "retired" and still finishing 6th !! JKal.

Interesting race this year Jim. the pack held together for the first Not quite, I watched parts of it in the morning, and the 4-man group that got away before Evertsberg looked to be very strong, with 3 Norwegians and one Swede (Jerry Arlin). The Norwegian commentators knew that Jerry had skate skis, double-poling all the way, and that the Auckland brothers both had a short rubbed area instead of grip wax. With Anders Myrland from Norway the last person in this group, Jerry must have felt quite lonesome, but he looked extremely strong at this point, easily powering away 5-10 m each time he took the lead, and with Myrdal the obvious trailing skier in the group. half of the race as usual, but then by about 60k it was a one man race. Looks like Anders held on for a bit but Jorgen won by a relatively HUGE margin compared to past vasaloppets. good result for Thomas Alsgaard too - being "retired" and still finishing 6th !! He got 5th didn't he, behind Jerry and Oscar Svärd (those are names to conjure with in this race!) Looking at the split times it is obvious that Thomas did a _very_ strong race, nearly keeping up with Jørgen A over the last 20 k and beating almost everyone else. BTW, I know many Swedes, including one of the SVT commentators, were hoping this would be the year when Jørgen finally got to win the race, after 5 previous podium finishes in a row. No matter how you look at the results, this was by far the best year ever for Norway: 1,2,5,8! :-) Terje -- - "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

Christopher- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - They have 2 different clips that appear to be the entire race broken up into 2+hours each. I tried capturing the stream using Replay AV8 but for some reason it stops recording after 2-3 seconds. Not sure if the buffering of the stream causes it to stop recording or what. Anyone else try Replay that might have a guess why its not working? |
