You must have tuned in to some hijacked/illegal channel - are you even sure it was the Swedish Champs you were watching??
It was probably Estonian.
It's a screwed up world, bubo, and these days all bets are off. Unless they're on, of course.
I haven't checked the Sprint Relay yet, or even if there is a broadcast to watch. I hope I can watch it, and that it will be in Finnish, too! Finnish is way easier than I ever thought it would be.
SVT has the sprint relay, too. It was fun to watch.
I was watching Viestiliiga a week or so ago and realized I understood some of the Finnish. Marika Teini had a lead of "kaksi minuutti."
Lots of viestiliiga on youtube:

"kaksi minuutti" is about all I would have understood too.
I watched some of it too and was surprised they even had a finish with the last leg run at night.
