FIS World Cup Alpine skiing 2024/2025 - Short programs

ksky003 — Sun, 10 Nov 2024 11:44:05 GMT

I've just downloaded the FIS World Cup Alpine skiing 2024/2025 event from Solden in October, but there is a problem with the recordings. One race is only 10minutes long and the other 30 minutes long. Clearly these are incomplete recordings. Where can I get the full races from?! I'm hoping this isn't "it" from Sky for this ski season!!!

@ksky003

It might be worth sending an email to the Viewer Relations team at Sky and asking them about this - viewerR@sky.uk

The full events are available on Discovery Plus. Discovery plus should be available to sky q, stream and glass customers at no extra cost.

Sky and Eurosport are separate entities. Eurosport is part of WBD.

I am not sure what happened these recordings. discovery+ have 3 or 4 options available for viewing for the Solden:

- short highlights 6-10 minutes each

- full highlights - 30 minutes

- full event as broadcast on eurosport (with ads)

- full event as on discovery (without ads)

Sometimes eurosport broadcast the 10 minutes highlights. This is really filler content for when an event finishes and another starts (and can be cut when cycling over runs). Without knowing for sure, I think the 10 minute highlights of the alpine skiing might have been the filler programme.

Thanks for that. You're quire right - I've found them. Searching through Sky to find them in Eurosport doesn't work at all well and there is no series link. Seems like a right mess to me! The 10 and 30 min recordings weren't even the highlights (at least the 3 I looked at weren't), they were just race coverage that was truncated. One was just an extended intro because it was the first race of the season.
But at least I could find them!
