The Swedish O' Champs is going on in Southern Sweden this week (first part of September). You can see the M21 winner's route at:

The area looks a bit like New England.

They will probably post more routes and maps in the coming days.

I haven't followed any of the live on-line coverage. But, there should be a good opportunity to follow the next event, the night champs (Tuesday 9/5/00). The short champs are on 9/8 and 9/9. The relay champs are on 9/10.

The night champs begin at 9 p.m. Swedish time (which is, I think, 2 or 3 p.m. here in the midwest). They plan to have live on-line coverage. The night champs is a mass-start event. To follow the live coverage, go to the main Swedish Champs page and look for a link to "on-live bevakning". The main page is at:

How weird--hearing Skanskan over the internet (live Natt-SM coverage)!

Like Swampfox, I was listening to the live audio coverage of the Swedish night champs (there was also live text coverage for those times when the connection was broken). It was quite interesting -- if you could follow the Swedish. Swampfox noted that they were speaking an unusual dialect. It really was funny to hear. I'd compare it to a thick Georgia accent.
