is anyone else having trouble with the IOF Live coverage? The GPS tracking is working, but not the video coverage.
This seems to happen every single year on the first race.

Yes, a very disappointing day for the Swedish men. A couple of big mistakes (3-5 min) for a few of them + one DNF (Albin) and one DNS? (Gustav).
I haven´t heard what happened yet and if there is more injury/sickness in the team since already two of the original runners had to step back due to sickness...
Great run by Anton!
