The channel invested heavily with many sports profiles, but hardly anyone was watching.

Northug spurtslo competitors extremely dramatically under the closing femmila WSC in Falun on Sunday. Czech Lukas Bauer, Swede Johan Olsson and Russian Maxim Vylegzjanin had succumbed to the incredible Mosvik no on the run.

Also over keel was the conclusion of Swedes own championship set of record numbers. The entire 2.6 million were joined on the run femmila directly on SVT, writes Aftonbladet.

Now it is clear that it is not only the national channels – NRK in Norway, SVT in Sweden – which has the rights to show WSC. Eurosport has also sent championship directly.

profiles Per Elofsson and former biathlete Carl-Johan Bergman tried to hijack Eurosport viewers from state channel. But broadcasts from Falun never took off completely for the pure sports channel. During the run on femmila had Eurosport 3000 viewers in Sweden (for Norway, there is no corresponding measurements, journ. Note.).
