Canmore Sprints

For individual starts, the 10 and 15k races were pretty effing good, with each race only decided late. And can anyone take a bad picture in Canmore? Picturesque isn't the half of it - the place is so gorgeous, even race faces look good. But not all of them. No, not all of them.


Between a nasty little course (three hairpins and a huge climb), the numerous missing Norwegians and Finns, and the push to hone form for this event at the Olympics in twelve days, the classic sprints - 1700 meters for men, 1470 meters for women - should be interesting. Picks:

1. Majdic
2. Falk
3. Kowalczyk

1. Jönsson
2. Kriukov
3. Newell

And if that link doesn't work, you can almost always find other links on this page:

Just look for the race listing. You'll have to experiment with various options and browsers.

thanks for your help guys, I was able to catch most of the sprints. good stuff. I'll be watching these places for Olympics nordic sports coverage, but I'm wondering if there is anywhere else I should check. I sure do wish we got CBC in the states.

You can try
http://www.myp2p.eu/index.php?part=sports

It's hit or miss, but often does offer at least one or two decent feeds from Europe. The mythical CBC feed eludes me, though...
