I just subscribe to Eurosport player for $4.99 a month...you can cancel anytime with no fee.
They play the whole race on their. You see everyone and you can stream back if you want to watch parts again.
All you need is a compatible lead to watch it through your big tv if needs be, and of course internet connection or wifi.
Worth every penny in my book.

It's live right now on Eurosport HD. Weather looks amazing, great bluebird day. Only worry will be everyone out on the mountain today in the sun, with very high avalanche conditions.

However British Eurosport's coverage of the Friday Women's Combined was good (except missing some skiers during an advertising break) and did show Chemmy's super G descent (she placed last, unfortunately, and didn't do the slalom).
Vonn crashed out on the slalom, having placed 3rd in the Super G. Vonn's slalom form is bad this year so far.

DB, Yes this Fellows UK National Artificial Ski Slope Champion, he was good unfortunately. WC starts as well .
skir67, .It’s always like that, but you must remember the commentators are in an industrial estate near Luton and he sees what you do and is making it up as it goes along
But at least it's not and errrr Freshwater |
He was pretty good with the 'and errs' as well as the 'just not saying anything at all' moments along with the 'having no idea who is in the race' issues. I don't think he'd been to 'commentator school' if they exist. In fact I suspect the office cleaner where he works is feeling a bit put out at not getting the commentary job!

It's probably just me but I feel like the new GS skis have taken the elegance out of GS skiing. I used to watch these guys skiing down the hill and wish I could ski that way. Watching them on the new skis I just get the feeling that they are fighting the equipment all the way down the hill and the grace from their movements has gone. I wish I could do the times they do but the way they have to ski the new kit leaves me a bit cold tbh.

Not showing Val Gardena 1300 but Scottish snooker (if sober enough to play). Still can watch on FIS Live but poor substitute for pictures. Forerunners on course, racer 1 at start, started, inter 1 33.0 inter 2 49 finish 1.07 finish 1 1.31.58 if you see what I mean

You know it makes sense.

I watched the Val Gardena Men's Downhill highlights this evening on the Eurosport Player (£1.99 per month for a 12 month subscription). Interesting that a Dutch skier Marvin Van Heek got 8th position. The Val Gardena course sometimes produces good results for the "underdog" ski nations - I'm sure many of us remember Konrad Bartelski's 2nd postion result there back in 1981!

Alastair Pink, I think he is as Dutch as Tessa Worley is Australian.

Is Chemmy going to be skiing in Courchevel? I'm not sure if this is one of her disciplines.
