XC nationals televised?
The AP is running the following story:
RUMFORD (AP) -- Hundreds of skiers and support personnel have begun arriving in Rumford for this weekend's U.S. Chevrolet Nationals cross-country competition. Scores of races will be played out on Black Mountain's 35 kilometers of trails. The event is preliminary to the World Cup and will be broadcast on ESPN. Black Mountain Skiing Director Peter Philips says 500 skiers from the U.S., Canada, and several other countries will participate, including Canadian silver medalist Becky Scott. The facility is expecting an influx of around two thousand people. For the United States, the races will help select the U.S. Junior Team for competition in Estonia later this year. Older skiers will be chosen for the U.S. National Team that will compete in the World Cup. The races are also preliminary to choosing competitors for the Canadian National Team for the World Cup. Black Team and the Chisholm Ski Club hosted the event last year, as well as in 1999. The line that jumped out at me was: "The event is preliminary to the World Cup and will be broadcast on ESPN." However, a check of the ESPN website yielded no information on when the coverage might appear. Any ideas? |

XCZONE.TV did the TV production for the Canadian National
Championships last year for prime time broadcast on SportsNet and then released on video to all ski clubs. It was very professional and skier orientated. Does anyone know if the Canadian Nationals will be broadcast? Quote from Cross Country Canada: Cross Country Canada is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement with SportsNet to broadcast this year's National Championships. The broadcast is scheduled for early April and will feature the sprint races on Saturday the 8th of March. The production company is XC Zone the producers of the highly acclaimed x-ski videos. Cross Country Canada believes that XC Zone will use their understanding of x-skiing to bring a fresh exciting perspective to TV coverage of x-skiing. Cross Country Canada and XC Zone will also be co-producing a Video / DVD of the entire championships and order forms will be available on the web site shortly.
