So just so I can get some understanding.
Your talking about XC skiing in the Nordic countries right? I'm assuming that's one of the "bigger" sports for those countries? Triathlon in N. America is like 21st in ranking of importance tv/media coverage behind awesome sports like competitive eating and poker. So when you talk about XC skiing being "live" in your country, there has never been even an inkling of care for XC sking here in the States from an media standpoint.
ETA: Here in the US, we have nearly 8 hours of live coverage on the weekend for the roughly the top 5ish sports in the US (football, baseball, basketball, college fball, college bball).
So good for you that XC skiing is live in potential a few European countries, they certainly aren't live here in the States. So it's kinda tic for tac.
