2025 should absolutely go to wonderful Lenzerheide  

[phelps 7,674]

season opening in Sweden, men and women's Sprint races on Saturday and "korta distans" (frankly, I don't know what kind of race it is in Swedish language) on Sunday...

 

both competition days will be broadcasted live by the Swedish Public TV SVT1 at 9.50 a.m. on Saturday and at 9.10 a.m on Sunday...

 

and, most important thing, the streams will be available worldwide (no geoblocking, which is quite rare for the Swedish TV) live and ondemand (for 1 month from the day of the race)...

I think the last thing I saw not geo-blocked in Swedish TV was... the wedding of TRH Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia?

I wonder if they realize that some people might really want to watch the races.

Cool!   Looking forward to Lördag.

I think that with Stina Nilsson in the race, a few more people may tune in than normal.  I will watch it later that night, I will be at my cross country team's national championship during the race.

So, the Polsat TV, the broadcaster having biathlon rights for Poland (Eurosport also has it) has just sent their recent schedule, until 4th December, which means the biathlon is there, so now officially:

Kortdistans= short distance

and distans is the Word we use. For the individual race so  a shorter individual 12,5/15Km from what I could find
