Chemmy Alcott is firmly the co-host to Ed Drake now, whilst Graham Bell is the main commentator. Long term BBC skiing commentator Matt Chilton hasn't featured this year or last, though he would have often doubled up on Eurosport's women's coverage and then the men's race for the BBC highlights; also, from what I gather from this season's Eurosport commentary, I don't think Chilton is UK based and is possibly doing his Eurosport work from home rather than Chiswick.
For the record, the highlights edit was around 20 minutes of the 45 minute show. One minor complaint I have is that the sounds effects of the title sequence are crowding out the iconic theme tune too often.
Just found out that another long serving Eurosport winter sport commentator in David Goldstrom has left the ski jumping coverage at the start of the season. Ian Findlay, who has mainly covered freestyle skiing/snowboarding, has replaced him.
By accident or by design, a bit of turnover at Eurosport.
