European Champs

[Freefall]

I note that Gross is currently running in the Women's race just a couple of places in front of Cat

They don't count towards the number of qualifiers. So if it's top 17 per heat then if a Canadian is in the top 17 they will take the top 18 through

They're also not eligible for for European medals, not that they stand much chance (except perhaps Emily)

A non-medal winning 3rd place for Emily looking quite likely at the moment.

Wyder has made an amazing recovery

[Homer]

Amazing performance by Tove!
Unbeatable today?

[Lard]

An exceptionally gutsy comeback from Wyder - 24th at No6, 2nd by the end!

[afterthought]

Tove wins by 2:13, and when interviewed says she decided not to push too hard but rather to focus on the technical. Brilliant.

Very impressive speed getting on with flower ceremonies - I expect national broadcast on Czech TV wants that.

(edit: spelling.)

Anyone know the start times of the relays ??? Need to plan my day.

[Little Hoddy]

9am UK time

Men 10:00 (i.e. 09:00 BST); Women 12:00 = 11:00 BST.

Thanks

From commentary: "Terrain pretty much like yesterday - Mixed runnability."

Countries can, and usually do, have two teams, best one to count.

[ba-ba]

Kris, Ralph, GG make up the SPOOK men's team.
Jess, Cat, Hollie make up the AROS women's team.

Kris couldn't even get in that team when it was the ShUOC first team!

[eddie]

Ahem 2 Women's AROS teams....

Bloody love relays by the way

[mikey]

Stupid question...are second teams eligible for medals?

[maprun]

Peter tied 3rd at the 5th control!
