In another topic though I'm not too sure about our tactics in picking the team order. Putting your best runner on last leg seems to work pretty well for the other nations (Hadorn, Imark, Ojanaho and Heimdal for Sui, Swe, Fin and Nor respectively) so why couldn't it work for us by putting Sasha on last? Just interested as to the reasoning behind the order that was picked. I'm sure lots of time has been put into thinking about it and so im sure there's probably a good reason!
I made a similar point ref the WOC relays. In JWOC I suppose you can argue about giving people experience of certain legs in a high pressure race situation that they might not get in the uk. But I guess unless you have three very similar top class athletes AND they all have perfect runs, then it's always going to look like you got something wrong?
