 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've spent three months watching every women's world cup race and, suddenly, they don't show the night slalom in Flachau and they don't seem to be showing any of the races in Kitzbuehl at the weekend. Is this normal right towards the end of a competition? That is appalling scheduling. My brother said Eurosport were banned from showing rugby because of this. Thankfully, I'll be watching the finals live in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and thank God the BBC are covering the Olympics. Anybody know how else I can watch this with pictures? I watched Flachau on the FIS live ticker...good but not quite the same

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Have they not got the rights to the Austrian races again this year I wonder ?
I know they never had until the last couple of years so Kitzbuehl were never on.
Edit: No hang on Soelden was on - don't know then.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Jerry, I thought maybe that, too, at first. My brother lives in Garmisch and could only get the Flachau event on ORF..the Austrian TV channel, none of the German channels showed it, even though Maria Riesch is from Garmisch. As you say, though, Solden was on and they're showing a whole half hour of the men's super-G in Kitzbuehl, don't think it's live though.

nicmk65, I only tend to watch the men's racing (will watch the girls if I get chance but I'd end up doing nothing but watch skiing all weekend  ) and I seem to remember that they did miss showing all or at least one run of something of the men's the other week too - I think there was ski jumping, may have been the four-hills or something, can't remember, instead - but maybe it's just too much winter sport and not enough airtime at this time of year. (Bearing in mind they also show lots of biathlon, jumping, XC, bob, etc)

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

iirc Eurosport didn't show Kitzbuehel last year either as they didn't have the rights to do so.

The women are racing in Cortina this weekend, not Kitzbuhel, that is the men's races.
Seems like Australian Open tennis has virtually taken over Eurosport at the moment, everything else will be on the back burner I suspect.
Especially if Andy Murray stays in it probably.
My Sky planner shows Live Downhill (from Kitzbuhel) for the Men at 10.30am Saturday on Eurosport 2
Whether or not that will actually appear will depend greatly on the preceding tennis I suspect.

FAQ
However, Cortina or not they're not showing the women's at this crucial stage in the world cup 
Guess it'll have to the live ticker on the FIS website again. Like you Jerry, I only watch the women's as I just haven't got time to watch the men's, too. Only started watching the men's now, so that I at least know what's going on when I go to see the last races in Garmisch...can't wait.
