Yes, I don't think anyone had a bad run. Must be tough for Ralph bringing us home in 4th for the second time in 2 years, but if anything looked like a stronger run for him this time - just beaten by 3 stronger teams. NO shame to get beaten a minute by Sweden and he did really well to claw 4th back off the Finns.
Well done guys!

Re: WOC and WTOC 2016 in SWE
Judging by the TV pictures, Ralph looked rather pleased with his run and the result.
Talking of the TV pictures, the coverage here in Sweden is good. The weather certainly helps too. For my own part, great being able to cycle out 10 mins to an event on the edge of town here this morning, get in a decent middle distance and be home for lunch, all within an hour and a half, and then spend the afternoon on the balcony watching the relays. #IamteamGB ?

Sadly Jess lost time on her lap going north around the marsh to 7 so GBR off the pace.

Hollie looks to be covering the ground a lot quicker than the six teams ahead.

Re: WOC and WTOC 2016 in SWE
The medals look like they're decided, but the battle for 4th between SWE and SUI looks interesting...
Brilliant run by Alm to come from way behind the leading two to grab Silver.

What a route choice by Alm to 'steal' the silver medal, inspired!

In other news, both GBR men and women provisionally retain their division 1 status, and 3 forest slots for next year

Take a look at Svensk's fastest route to #2 in the sprint. Really - I'm not kidding...

The women look as though they are staying up because the CZE relay team were disqualified. Hopefully we used up our bad luck over the two cycle this year as well.

I noticed him doing that. Didn't realise it was quite that steep though. Risky. He must have decided prior to the race the rock was navigable.Take a look at Svensk's fastest route to #2 in the sprint. Really - I'm not kidding...

Re: WOC and WTOC 2016 in SWE
Brilliant from the men. But i am sad that i managed to get through today without finding out the result as i wanted to watch it "live" in reterospect. However the only tv one can get is the last 2 legs of the women's.
I tried experimenting by changing the event id in the url but to no avail.
So i eventually watched the tracking which was exciting, but not quite as good.
Similarly no matter what sprint race you choose to view you only get a few minutes at the start of the women's and no men's at all.
