How to watch ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals 2025 – live stream, TV channels, schedule
Is China's table tennis stranglehold (ever so slightly) slackening? Chinese athletes swept the board at the last ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals two years ago, and have won both the men's and women's singles at 10 straight editions of the tournament, dating all the way back to 2005, but Brazil's Hugo Calderano is poised to challenge that dominance. Read on and we'll explain how you can watch ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals live streams from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for FREE. The 2025 ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals run from Saturday, May 17 to Sunday, May 25.

Having beaten Lin, Wang and then-No.3 Tomokazu Harimoto en route to World Cup glory last month, Calderano's belief will be sky-high. World No.1 Sun Yingsha leads the women's singles, sharing the same half of the draw as Wang Yidi. Their compatriots Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong have been kept apart on the opposite side of the draw. One especially fascinating collision course to keep an eye on is that of Lebrun brothers Felix and Alexis, who are doubles partners and potential single opponents. The No.6 and No.9 seeds may set up a family affair at the last 16 stage in Doha.

Livestream of moose migrating to summer pastures that had millions hooked ends
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The seventh season of Swedish slow TV hit 'The Great Moose Migration' ended Sunday night after 20 days of 24-hour live coverage. The show, called 'Den stora älgvandringen' in Swedish, began in 2019 with nearly a million people watching. In 2024, the production hit 9 million viewers on SVT Play, the streaming platform for national broadcaster SVT. By 10 p.m. local time (2000GMT) Sunday, the end of the production, the livestream's remote cameras had captured 70 moose swimming across the Ångerman River, some 300 kilometers (187 miles) northwest of Stockholm, in the annual spring migration toward summer grazing pastures. The program kicked off April 15, a week ahead of schedule due to warm weather and early moose movement. Johan Erhag, SVT's project manager for 'The Great Moose Migration,' said this year's crew will have produced 478 hours of footage — 'which we are very satisfied with,' he wrote in an email to The Associated Press Saturday evening. Figures for this year's audience were not immediately available, but Erhag said roughly 30% of the viewers tuned in from outside Sweden. The 2025 production attracted international headlines from the New York Times, CNN, Sky News and France 24, among others, following an AP story that published April 15 . 'I think AP has been a key for the success around the world this year, absolutely,' Erhag wrote hours before the final footage aired on Sunday night. The program will return to SVT next spring for its eighth season. 'The Great Moose Migration' is part of a trend that began in 2009 with Norwegian public broadcaster NRK's minute-by-minute airing of a seven-hour train trip across the southern part of the country. The slow TV style of programming has spread, with productions in the United Kingdom, China and elsewhere. The central Dutch city of Utrecht , for example, installed a ' fish doorbell ' on a river lock that lets livestream viewers alert authorities to fish being held up as they migrate to spawning grounds.

Sweden's Great Moose Migration live stream ends after 478 hours' viewing
For thousands of years, moose have crossed rivers, navigated thawing forests and quietly followed ancient trails toward their summer pastures in northern Sweden. A 24-hour live stream gave millions of viewers front-row seats to watch every unhurried step of the journey. But on Sunday night, the seventh season of Den stora älgvandringen (The Great Moose Migration, also translated as The Great Elk Trek) ended, after nearly three weeks of uninterrupted footage streamed via SVT Play, the platform of Sweden's national broadcaster. Since its debut in 2019, the series has grown from a niche public broadcasting experiment into a cultural phenomenon, attracting close to 9 million viewers in 2024. 'We are very satisfied,' said Johan Erhag, SVT's project manager for the series. He confirmed the team has captured 478 hours of footage, with 26 remote cameras, seven night-vision ones and a drone streaming uninterrupted footage since its launch on 15 April. The last showing of the season concluded at 10pm local time on Sunday, with cameras capturing 70 moose (also known as European elk) making the spring crossing through Sweden's Ångerman River – about 180 miles north of Stockholm. The Great Moose Migration is part of a growing fascination with 'slow TV' – a genre that took off in 2009 when Norway's NRK aired a real-time, seven-hour train ride from Bergen to Oslo. The concept has since found cult status across Europe, with broadcasts featuring 12-hour knitting marathons, a 134-hour sea voyage, and even a crackling fireplace stream that topped Netflix's UK charts on Boxing Day. Cashing in on its popularity, SVT has even been sending out push notifications when the first moose appears, while a dedicated Facebook group with more than 76,000 members now shares sightings, screenshots and speculation about the next appearance. Though official viewing figures for this year's season have yet to be released, SVT has already confirmed the moose will return next spring for an eighth edition.
