World Champs

[graeme]

the British ones will be in 2015... Maybe Mad Mike and Freefall can tell us!?

Two M50s, one M65 and an M45/M60 combo.
I don't think there's anyone under 40 left in the organising team

Matt Crane was running for ShUOC (Harvester) ... in 2003 as suggested.

Chasing some M40 for the title over the 12km glory leg ... but not fast enough Sometimes old guys can do the job

Never mind reminiscing... the Sprint start lists are published.

Women - Ruth 0914, Tess 0921.

Men - Murray 1001, Kris 1021, Scott 1030

(all local times, BST+1)

Three heats, top 15 from each through to the Final later on Saturday.

...
However OK Ravinen have two runners at WOC who should bring home a medal or two, each. Yannick Michiels BEL Sprinter and Gustav Bergman Middle and Relay. As well as Ruslan Glebov UKR Sprint and probably Sprint Relay, Blažo Maksimović SRB ....
I am guessing SNO and OK Linne, Kalevan Rasti, Halden, KOK, etc. will boast the largest club members present...

OK Ravinen will also have a WTOC competiorin ITA. Then again so do OK Linne and Halden.

:lol:

Just debating whether the IOF live centre is going to deliver at 17 euro for the week.

Well I paid for a ticket and tried to access the service and got 'invalid token' message - perhaps because its not live yet. Anyone got any further?

[DJM]

Advice from the IOF about the live feed ticket:

Please note that this is valid for one device only (but for the whole week from tomorrow on)

So, yes, the service does seem to be available from tomorrow (Saturday) and not before.

Has anyone paid the 17 euro for the live thing yet? 'One device' and 'testing' are putting me off

[andy]

Women are underway and the data is pouring into the liveresults site, who is 'watching'?

Times are tight, Ruth looks to have gone clean through the first half, 3rd of 13 through the first radio

[andy]

Ruth finished, into 6th of 12 with a decent chance of the final

Tess 7th at first radio (of 24)

[maprun]

Looks as though Ruth slowed in the second half and only 15 to go through from each heat - final?

[andy]

Tess comfortably into the final by the looks of it, not looking so good for Ruth

[andy]

Looks as though Ruth slowed in the second half and only 15 to go through from each heat - final?

15 through, yes. She seemed to lose a bit but so did others

[andy]

Looks like Ruth lost about 15secs or so in the 2nd half, she's gone from the right side of the pack to the wrong side. Unless Emma Klingenberg makes some serious mistakes it's not going to be
