WOC Relay gold - watch it again

[Oldman]

What a great result - wish I'd been there! Next best was watching it on TV which I've just done using this link:

Enjoy!!

Thanks. I spent an extended lunch-hour viewing this at work ( ) and despite the commentary being in Czech, it was great viewing - I certainly enjoyed it.

I presume the BOF development team will be considering how to make best use of the footage. It would make a good promotional DVD if shortened (leave out quite a few of the crowd scenes) and given a good English commentary. Could also include some discussion or interviews with the winning trio. The shots of the competitors in the forest were inspirational.

Was there a similar Czech programme about the women's relay? Should really include some shots of that if trying to give some balance.

Is there anyway of making the viewing sgreen larger? Its rather small

I right clicked and went to 'Zoom' then 'Full screen'.

Leave out the crowd scenes??? What a NAFF idea:) Elite sport needs crowds, it needs inspiration... the crowds are as much about World Championships as the runners:)

Yes but a promotional video would need to be shorter and convey the idea of what it is like to go orienteering. Whilst the crowds are important at the elite level, and the shots certainly helped convey the atmosphere of this event and some would be great, I think it would be more important to give the essence of orienteering - navigating through woods and pastures at speed - if trying to prmote the sport. And anyway, I did not suggest leaving out all the crowd scenes.

Yes, there was, and also of the other events.
Here's how to get at it (not sure how long it'll be there, though as my Czech is a bit weak ).

Choose the event you want to see from the dated list on the left.

The sprint has some good bits including the cameraman chasing runners up a flight of steps!

Great watching it on the internet, despite knowing the result. Really felt for Thierry

The films of the relays are especially good (though the courses look rather easy). The storm adds to the drama! I found it irritating, all the buffering while I was trying to watch, so I changed to Realplayer mode.

[Tatty]

Sorry to be such a ludite, but how do you change it to Real Player?
Got so annoyed with all the stopping and starting watching the Men's sprint

Under the player and above the advert there are four links. The first two are windows media player and the last two real player and these have the 'real' logo on them and one word. Of the two real player links one has 'pomalé' and one 'rychlé', which are low and high quality - choose the appropriate one based on your internet connection speed.
