Eurosport Races Now Available!!!
It took over half the season but I have finally tracked down someone willing to cap the Eurosport broadcasts for the remainder of the season! I will not be seeding these races on public trackers however, these races are available through a private tracker. Here's a step-by-step way of getting these races. The Otepaa races are up as I type this.
1. Go to http://thebox.bz/ 2. Sign up a new account. If it says sign-up is disabled because of max members registered, just wait a couple hours and try again. They are very meticulous with the site and are constantly deleting in active account. For the most part, there are always 10-20 vacancies so it shouldn't take you too long to get an account. 3. Click "Browse" on the top bar and search for "World Cup", the Otepaa races should be somewhere on the first page. I talked to the guy that is capping these races and he said that the races will be upped and ready every Sunday night of the race weekend. The best thing about private sites is that nobody caps their upload speed because of strict ratio rules. I want to give a big thanks to Terje and Oskar for capping the NRK broadcasts for us North Americans this season. I personally can't wait to hear David Goldstrom and his "I wonder if he/she has enough petrol left in the tank." I'm just giddy about it! Cheers Adam |

You could get really well hydrated for a race if you took a drink of water every time Goldstrom said a racer had just "collected a big scalp" or given the distance in thousands of meters.

Christopher Really... does this guy ever shut up? While a racer is about to start at the line, he yabs on about another racer, completely distracting from what is going on in the actual race. I prefer NRK broadcast (I don't speak Norge). That way, I can't understand what the announcers are saying and I don't get distracted by all the verbiage. |

Are you sure that's Goldstrum and not Patrick Reed, the broadcaster for
snowtime.com, the WCSN feed, with a pompous presentation and seemingly no knowledge of the sport, even as a recreational skier? Goldstrum talks a lot too, but actually talks to the athletes. Eurosport English is better when Mike Dixon, a biathlete, is aboard or running solo. You might view it differently if you (and I) understood Norwegian, because those guys keep it going too. When talking about a skier, they seem to go back and forth like a comedy routine. "Bellsouth Ijit 2.0 - 'Roid Rage Edition ®" wrote: I just watched the women's 10k.

Sometimes Goldstom is distant but sometimes (mostly?) not. In the
latter case, he tells viewers. You can't gain the knowledge he has without being present a fair portion of the time. The video feed, however, is usually arranged by the host and common to all the networks. rm doogiski wrote: You have to remember that the NRK play-by-play are at the actual venue and have a much better idea of what's going on compared to Goldstrom who is probably in a building in the UK watching the same footage as we are (albeit live). He has admitted that sometimes the cameras aren't ideal but his knowledge of the sport is very good. Goldstrom does have some patented phrases such as "taking a scalp", "running out of petrol", and "now has he gone out too fast/hard?", but I'm sure the Norwegians have some saying that they use redundantly too. IMO because English is my first language, I'll take the Eurosport over NRK anyday. |

The third Eurosport English commentator is Patrick Winterton. He tends
to share the Biathlon reports with Mike Dixon, but he covers all the Nordic disciplines. Like Mike he's ex National Team, Senior Coach for England (Mike is a Scot), still capable of winning rollski races, and like David has that knack of assessing split times and forecasting results from there. He also commentates for Eurosport on Adventure races and is an accomplished canoe adventurer. |
