  • Eurosports Höjdpunkter November 2014
    EUROSPORTS HÖJDPUNKTER NOVEMBER 2014 VINTERSPORT Nu sparkar vi igång på snö och isar Vintersportsäsongen tjuvstartade visserligen redan i september med Champions Hockey League (i november är vi framme vid åttondelsfinaler) och ökade på i oktober med konståkningens Grand Prix och alpina världscupen - men nu är det allvar. Eurosport rullar ut den vita mattan och bjuder på det bästa från längdspår, pister och isar. Sammanlagt blir det över 800 timmar direktsänd vinteridrott säsongen 2014/2015 (över 2 000 med eftersändningar, magasin och repriser). Norden står som vanligt starkt i inledningen av säsongen, med världscuppremiärer i både Finland och Sverige. Längre fram i vinter väntar en rad EM, VM, världscuper och andra tävlingsserier på att ta plats i Eurosports kanaler. Vintersporten ses naturligtvis i allra bästa bildkvalitet på Eurosport HD och Eurosport 2 HD. Världscupen i skidskytte kör igång sin säsong i Östersund på månadens sista dag och Eurosport är förstås på plats och direktsänder. Förra året vanns damernas totala världscup av Kaisa Mäkäräinen före norskan Tora Berger och OS-mästarinnan Darya Domracheva från Vitryssland. Fransmannen Martin Fourcade vann för tredje året i rad världscupen på herrsidan. Tvåa (för fjärde året i rad) blev norrmannen Emil Hegle Svendsen och trea Dominik Landertinger från Österrike. Alpina världscupen inledde säsongen i österrikiska Sölden redan i oktober och fortsätter nu med tävlingar i först finska Levi och sedan Aspen och Lake Louise på andra sidan Atlanten. Förra året blev Marcel Hirscher från Österrike den förste herråkaren att ta hem totaltiteln tre år i rad sedan Phil Mahre från USA vann 1981-1983. På damsidan tog Anna Fenninger från Österrike hem totalcupen.
