Sometimes the GPS tracks of the original and your rides don't match close enough, if you raise a request with Strava they will try and match them for you, I made a big effort on one segment only to find it missing when I uploaded, I put in request, they managed to match it, result a KOM.

Grabbed a joint KOM with one of the pain in the bum locals (he's a chap who will flag rides or go out just to take KOMS). Very quick sprint, past Stockport Car Parks - helped by the fact there was a guy on a 125 trying to get past me 
, then I scalped him in some filtering later on. He got me back after the traffic cleared.

Updated Veloviewer last night to find I got an Arm chair KOM from my old stomping ground; its a bit of a short sharp segment suiting me.

I noticed if you have a joint KOM, it dissapears form your list of KOM's, it has happened to me a few times, not that I actually care... just an observation.

The new segments not showing old rides seems to be a glitch
"We recently experienced some problems with the database that matches new segments to all previously uploaded activities. Unfortunately, any segments created at that time will be missing leaderboard entries from prior to the date the segment was created.
In order to get the segment to populate with previous activities, those segments can either be re-created or you can "Edit" the segment without actually making changes. To do this, from the segment page, click on the Actions drop down and then click on Edit and go through the Edit process without actually making any changes to the segment. If segments appear that are similar make sure to check the option for "Edit My Segment".

Just did my first ride in RIchmond Park, there are squillions of segments, some ridden by 17,000 people. Needles to say I am near the bottom of the heap
Never seen so many bleeding segments (I did two laps)

kicking myself not gaining a KOM by 1 sec 
However I think it is now in reach, it was pretty fast time set by the leader and considering I`m a fat lad and riding a fixed gear, that KOM is going to be mine sooner or later
