The Sport page is very different.
There are obvious links to the live programme.
Those links disappear when the live programme ends.
It's not at all obvious (to me anyway)
how to find the catch up,
which is why I thought it didn't exist.
I don't know how you found the pages you referred me to.
On the same note, I was contacted off-list by someone
wanting the links (and pids) for "table tennis" Olympic coverage...
Your starting point for every Olympics 2016
Sports category available as video-on-demand
on the BBC iPlayer site (excluding main channel
coverage) should be:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/36829922
(Rio 2016 Olympics: Sport-by-sport guides and iPlayer catch-ups)
Say, for example, that you're interested in Tennis
(I know Alan is...).
1. Scroll down to the "More on tennis" link,
but don't follow it - only academic info there; instead:
2. Click the "Relive all tennis coverage from Rio 2016 on iPlayer."
link underneath it:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00cpspy
Those are all available currently tennis events as catch-up.
"b00cpspy" is the BrandPID for Olympic Tennis (valid for
all Olympics, running and past).
Click the "Program website" link =>
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cpspy
Click the "All previous episodes" link =>
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cpspy/episodes/player
Click the "All" tab =>
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00cpspy/episodes/guide
Place your cersor on "2016 View episodes",
right click and from the context menu choose
"Open link in new tab" (wording may vary
depending on browser) =>
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p040q11m/episodes/guide
"p040q11m" is the SeriesPID for 2016 Olympics Tennis events.
get_iplayer --pid=p040q11m --pid-recursive --tvmode=hvfvhigh
will get you all the currently available episodes in 960x540p/25fps
files. Should you opt for the quite larger 50fps files (BTW, those
are true 50fps ones, as can be easily verified in a player with
frame-by-frame playback capacity), then select appropriately
hvfsd (540p) or hvfhd (720p).
Repeat the command at a later time
to download additional episodes added
in the interim (where applicable) ...
Or you can set-up a PVR job, as per:

Vangelis you're a genius (as always)!
As you can tell, no "geniusness" was involved;
only thorough and methodical searching :-)
Best regards,
Vangelis.
