The relay starts at 11am local (10am UK).

After last years win in the Mens, Team number 1 is GBR

Good luck guys (and girls)!

If I was a betting woman, I would go with the Swiss or the French winning the men's race (more inclined towards the Swiss).

The women's race seems much less clear-cut but I will put my head above the parapet and suggest that I think the Australian team could well beat the British team given results so far.

No chance of the Aussies winning the Orienteering Ashes (what's that trophy called?) as there isn't an Oz men's team... or any Oz men this year... wonder why? Is that trophy still competed for...

I think it'll be a tough race... GB men will be doing well to hit the top 6. Maybe the Czechs will produce a surprise in the women's race... and maybe the Russians for the men? Bring back 4 legs... makes predictions so much easier

you say that but last year's individual performances had not been sparkling ahead of the relay.
GG has shown top form. Scott can match that. Speakey won't be far off the two of them and has fire in his belly.

wait and see

hopefully I'm on consistent form too
last night I said Bolt would break the World record

Bugger this.... I'm getting in the car after the relays and will drive down to watch the Long on Sunday

According to live results China are the first through TV2 and appear to be completely alone - but maybe this is an information blip - there have been several of them this week.

Now it's China, Belarus, Germany - not anybody's prediction I would imagine

Live text is working - that's the best I can find...

Sounds good so far, but it's probably still a big pack with everyone in...

Now it says that Hong Kong is in 4th place

- this is just ridiculous :roll:

by **Gross** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 10:23 am

France through 1st at 2nd control... Israel 2nd, Russia 20 secs back, Sweden 45 secs... no mention of GB yet???

GB was 10th here.... not more than a few seconds back

Where did you get that info from Gross - it is in some ways more detailed than Live Comments but less complete - and TOTALLY different from Live results

by **Gross** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 10:29 am

I paid my 5 euros... so watching it & listening to Mr P

by **Gross** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 10:32 am
