Re: Tiomila
Yes, the already strong Koovee (team 11) are even stronger with Daniel Hubmann to finish (could anyone beat him if the last leg is like last year's and he is near the front?) They also now have the outstanding long night runner of recent years Olexandor Kratov (I believe even when he has tried wearing a plain black shirt everyone else still follows him.) But I think Kalevan Rasti haven't won as many of these major relays as they have without reason, Baptiste Rollier is a very good replacement for Fabian Hertner, and my guess is they will get there again this year.
As regards top 5, the teams you mention are all strong. I think last year's winners IFK Göteborg 1, lead organising club Stora Tuna (4 men called Svensk), and the poetically named Malungs Skogsmadarana, could well be in there too.
My guess then is 1.KR 2.Koovee 3.Lidingö 4.Malungs 5.SNO
As to the women's my guess for the top 5 includes 3 teams with British runners:
Pan Århus
Linné (Leg 3 - Cat)
Domnarvets (Leg 1 - Jess)
Lidingö
Halden (Leg 3 - Hollie)

And they're off...
The Finnish/English commentary appears to be 100% Finnish.

Wish it was - I'd have a chance of understanding it. With Finnish, no chance. I've switched to Swedish (Per), where I can at least understand a handful or words...
Terrain around the arena looks quite open, fast and technically easy, but out by the TV control at 2.5km into the womens race it looks more "typically Swedish".

Re: Tiomila
What a run from Jess Tullie!!!
Not many people get to wear the number 1 and then come back right at the front, class performance.

Re: Tiomila
Plenty of tracks out there. Long leg out to first controls on leg 2 has split the field, some running further but staying on roads/tracks.

Halden with over a minute lead now at the end of leg 2. Hollie on leg 3 for them. Good luck!!
Cat is also on leg 3, just gone out in 12th place 3 mins down.

Re: Tiomila
Hollie just turned a 1.5 min lead into a 3 min lead. Did the chasers make a mistake, or has Hollie just beasted it up that first hill.
Cat among the chasing group 3 mins back now.

Re: Tiomila
A combo of mistake and gaffling surely, the fastest girl seems to be Wyder, who has taken 8 places by only 9s in on Hollie
