WOC middle final - who is going to win?

[Becks]

GG is in the top 15 I think! Merz just behind him.

[ba-ba]

YMCA for Oberg.

[Tessa]

Merz 5 seconds behind gg. Revenge from wuoc??

[Scott]

2 runners have now missed the straight route to the spectator control - are they reading it as a sprint map with a 'must not be crossed barrier' at the end of the gap between the OOB?

Novikov (who went right round to the north) said that he though it was a forbidden route when they interviewed him at the finish. It might just be that they aren't spotting the gap in the olive green.

[awk]

Totally gripping. GG to be 13th?

[Scott]

Thierry is messing up 17.

[Becks]

Official TV gone again for you guys?

[Scott]

Yep. Impeccable timing

[Becks]

Once more. I hope they do something to improve this tomorrow. Thank goodness for Swizz TV, if only my German was still up to scratch!

[Becks]

Tv back. Kaas is flying up that hill!

[Becks]

Oh crap, I'm going to have to go chase a baby mouse round a bowl when the most exciting bit hits! Silly experiments!

[andy]

bah, didn't get TV back until kaas was crossing the line, a bit annoying!

[Becks]

Oh god, that was pretty amazing. Luckily my mouse hung on till he'd finished. What an exciting race!

[Scott]

Well, that was a bit exciting. Looks like thirteenth for GG, a great effort

Credit also to Kratov - it's always nice to see runners from the smaller (in orienteering terms) countries getting on the podium.

By the way, what the hell is "We Are Bushmen?" Eurgh.
