Harry's team back 1st..........

[Jess]

Check out team Scotland, Hollie's picked up over 100 places in first 4.4km, team's in 180th at the moment. Good running compared to the top gals too!

Watching Scotland - go girls -doing really well; area looks very runnable. The winner of leg 1 from Wing is a ski orienteer and said the area suited her because of all the paths; not usual pathless Scandi terrain. Fantastic coverage. Makes it all come alive. Come on Scotland ( from an Englishwoman)

Just checked results again - fantastic, class run from Hollie

Harry just through video control 3 in 9th place for Wing-- brilliant

[Gross]

Russian from Hellas has taken over 4 mins out of Niggli on leg 4.... stunning run

[Tatty]

What UK time does the Men's race start? How do you get the results up. All I've managed is the live video link so you can't track the teams position from there.

[Jethro]

Great result from Scots girls, top 100!!!

[Gross]

Just need the lads to do the same.... and think of the pain in the thighs going over that bridge on the run in

[Jess]

Tatty: think the guys starts at 21.00 GB time (23.00 in Finland). If you go to: http://www.jukola2009.net/ then click one of the 'servers' then english, then link at top 'Mikkeli-Jukola 2009, Venlojen Viesti ONLINE' was for the womens, guess theyll put up another for the guys.

Charlotte Watson ran as a sub for Annalotta Irewall in team 455 coming in 7.41 down on the leader in 153rd place. Says she had a good run and sounded pretty pleased.
Any other Brits running as substitutes in the Venla?
