Tanja Poutiainen of Finland won the opening race of the Alpine Worldcup ski season on Saturday, beating Kathrin Zettel of Austria by 0.01 second in the giant slalom on the Rettenbach glacier in Sölden, Austria. Denise Karbon (Italy) came 3rd, Britain's Chemmy Alcott was 19th, and last year's women's Worldcup champion, Lindsey Vonn (USA), was 9th. Swiss veteran Didier Cuche won the opening men's Worldcup race, also a giant slalom, while Ted Ligety (USA) came 2nd and Cuche's teammate, Carlo Janka came 3rd....For full results: http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/604/1228.html?cal_suchsector=AL&event_id=26745

I think the women's was delayed for bad weather, but yes the ES EPG can be flaky, always best to record before and after.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Are they showing a lot of coverage on British Eurosport this season? Also are any other channels covering it? I quite like the slightly more glossy highlights

Jerry, it was delayed 30 minutes while they cleared the overnight snow - the weather on the day was perfect, believe me, I was there! All that lovely squeechy new dry powdery snow!
The afternoon leg was also delayed by the same amount as the programme for the day was running at least 30 minutes late. It was interrupted by Nicole Hosp's horrible unlucky accident (she was on her back sliding and spinning when a ski caught in a gate) and again when the helicopter came in to pick her up.
Eurosport UK often call their reports live when in fact they are running a few minutes behind the actual events. This is particularly true when they are receiving a feed from another broadcaster and do not have any commentators at the event! I've seen this by switching between Eurosport UK and Eurosport Germany/Austria!
