To the OP, your link seemed to be pointing to the CBC replay of the Figure Skating Pairs Free Skate. If so, I was able to download it using the following ffmpeg command.
Code:
ffmpeg -i "http://olystreameast.nbcolympics.com/vod/1cc05896-0fba-473d-b426-f1076ad456b7/pairs-free-skate0212064340.ism/QualityLevels(56000)/Manifest(audio_en_0,format=m3u8-aapl,filtername=vodcut)" -i "http://olystreameast.nbcolympics.com/vod/1cc05896-0fba-473d-b426-f1076ad456b7/pairs-free-skate0212064340.ism/QualityLevels(3450000)/Manifest(video,format=m3u8-aapl,filtername=vodcut)" -c copy "PairsFree.ts"
The actual program starts at Frag561, so the first 30 minutes or so of the file can be skipped.
