Is there any GPS tracking?
All I see is from a camera pointed at the assembly area. Once in a while somebody will run by. The announcer has the strongest Aussie accent I've ever heard.
That's true, in fact rumour has it that the Aussies don't have a computer, he does everything in his head.
We don't have accents (unless you're from Queeeeeeeenslaaaaaaand); everyone else does.
Yesterday was never planned to have video, but when the audio didn't work, Toph patched together a video link, so we could keep up to date
Today is more planned, and has camera's in the field
I believe the Middle Distance World Cup races start in about an hour. Live coverage is available at the link below, though I don't think there is an video or GPS tracking for the middle.

Yeah no tracking or video.. if things don't go live til the start of the actual world cup runners and not the oceania runners don't get too stressed I would say. Though I'm not there and haven't looked at the start list.
Can't see anything on o-lynxlive yet.
Audio is now going. Awdio.com
Flash upgraded and now in business. Who are the two commentators? One I assume is
Blair Trewin. And, if so, is Blair the softer voice or the other one? Of course, this will be a stupid question in about an hour when they both get extremely excited, and one will no longer be able to tell them apart. ;-)
94 viewers on o-ynxlive. Will we get over 100?
Already over, and it will go over 200 as the WC warms up
Would be nice if it does...
Blair has the harder australian accent. And the one full of statistics.
Ah, Uganda, once again a no-show...is anyone really surprised? How many hours did you put into trying to facilitate the participation of the mythical Ugandan orienteer?
Blair is the one talking about weather.
Bathroom break...missed the weather report, which would have been the dead give away.
Louder voice vs. more soft spoken?
Blair 's voice is generally less distorted. Better microphone technique.
So the winning times seem a bit on the long side...
Also I cannot listen to the coverage at work so I was just assuming Blair would talk about weather at some point.
To my ear, there is one foreground and one background. So, Blair is probably the foreground voice, and did a quite respectable 15 in the non-WC field. Who is the other voice?
If not for the fact that Toph is not there, I would have said it was Toph.
LOL, tRicky...actually, no mention of the weather so far, on my watch, though I think they caught a bit of a break today so far.
What link is the audio
The other was going to be Lance Read
29'40" for Tove seems spot on.
Blair was the one with fashion commentary.
Fashion? Tune out for 10 seconds and miss the good stuff!!
Olli Markus DQ, as is Shep and Keely
29'40" for Tove seems spot on.
I think I was looking at the wrong list. There seems to be links for MEN, M21E, WOMEN and W21E.
Men and Women are the WC runners
Ta, I'm not well versed in categories! I only know what colour the start and finish banners should be.
What a time for the link to go down
Even the Twitter feed took a while to confirm the result.
Hubmann takes the win the win from Olav Lundanes & Matthias Kyburz!
(no times given)
Only got 149 viewers at the peak, got more than 300 for the sprint...
Difference between Saturday and a work day?
I viewed it today but not Saturday so those figures baffle me.
Same because I was at work! Maybe Saturday's timing better suited the European 'viewer'.
Maps are now up on the website.
Well, the Sprint was minus one for me since I couldn't hang until midnight my time. I think I was done by 9 pm.
Is the purple different on the maps, or are all colours a different shade
The non-sequential numbering is interesting, assume it was correct on the competition maps. The colour maybe something to do with the file format used to load onto the website.
I didn't get out of bed in time. I blame being on holiday.
Circle in slightly different place, so must be 2 files
Can confirm that Lance Read and I were the commentators (Mike Dowling also did a bit early). The server went down (power supply problems) right at the end which delayed making the results official but Daniel Hubmann and Olav Lundanes were definitely 1st and 2nd.
Matt Ogden and Lizzie Ingham were the Oceania champions and therefore get the WOC places.
And they're off! The first start was at 10:30 AM local time (UTC +10), or 6:30 PM EST. It looks like the last start is around 12:30p and 1:30p for women and men respectively, so we should have final results by around 3p local or 4a GMT.
The maps are already available here:

The men have a monster 3.8 km leg for which world of O has already configured a route choice exercise:
