As the person maintaining the library of Strava segments for Zwift, I’ve noticed Strava hasn't been matching certain activities to certain segments.

It seems to apply to segments that include multiple loops of a circuit, or repeated sections of road. The following segments are affected by this bug (there may be others):

What makes this an especially odd bug is that it doesn't seem to apply to older segments. But newer ones - at least those created after April 2024, although I don't have a precise date - are affected.  Here are some older segments which clearly include multiple loops, yet they are still being matched to activities just fine:

There are other older segments I could list, these are just two examples. Every old multi-loop segment I check is still functioning, but any created after April 2024 is not.

Please fix it, Strava! It’s really frustrating for Strava loving Zwifters to complete routes in game, but not have a matching segment.

Can confirm this happens for the queens after party route for me as well. 


This also happens if you create one on these sections as a Private Section, only the ride that you use to create the section gets matched,  No other rides will match even if you crop the ride, refresh your results.


Also doesn’t recognise NYC KOM After Party for me from Jan 2025, even after deleting/restoring

 


Strava, please fix this. 


I did this again on Saturday, and it still didn’t show up, and no indication why it failed to match. https://www.strava.com/activities/14365702343
