I have a on-demand function via my tv-company, so I can watch what I missed later. 

I have the same, I mean a very large portion of things I watch on any of Eurosport's available options is only shown on the Player :p (here, at least)

I'm pretty sure you watch much more sports than I do. My studies take too much of my time, so I often tend to follow via livescore or just look at the results lists.

Has anyone tried Eurosport Player outside of Europe by the way?

Well no ads about it yet, which is a concern. Usually they promote their big events for a month or so. 

Then again, I've seem them show ads for all kinds of multisport events without ever showing one second of it on TV :p

I live already 4 years in China. I tried to contact customer service of Eurosport that I am an European citizen, provided them my passport scan and explained my family and work situation that I currently live in China but I would love to be using Eurosport player to watch various events as I used to it in Europe. They expressed their understanding but refused anyway no matter what explanation I gave. 

 

I did not dare to buy and then pray whether it is gonna work with VPN or not. If not would be just waste of money. Regarding these broadcasting rights, I suppose that Eurosport has some kinda better technology to find out the real IP address compared to some national TVs which do not really care that much about this thing.

Yeah VPNs can be tricky. I’ve spent $175 USD on them this year (2/3 different services). However, all the ones I’ve purchased work great. They might struggle at different times, or not always perform perfectly, but they do the job I want them too. Plus, the costumer service contacts are generally very nice, and diligent to fix problems. I’ve even got a VPN that doubles as a complete cyber security app too.

You want to say that you've been using Eurosport regularly outside Europe?

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
