World Champs

[MIE]

Looks like John Crosby has Bronze in the Paralympic Pre-O

From the WTOC tweet:


WTOC 2014 @WTOC2014Italy

paralympic class: Gold for Johansson ahead of Jansson (both SWE), bronze for Crosby (GBR) #wtoc2014

For a bit of intrigue and to drive up numbers on here who are in your relay teams?

[andypat]

Bit of a struggle to find but here's the pools...with mine in bold.

Men’s Pool: Scott Fraser, Graham Gristwood, Hector Haines, Murray Strain and Doug Tullie
Women’s Pool: Tessa Hill, Hollie Orr, Helen Palmer, Catherine Taylor and Claire Ward

I'm going based on form so far in the champs rather than any personal thoughts on who deserves to be in the team.

In the event Scott is 100% (I havent heard any reasons for his below par runs) I wouldnt be too surprised if he got the nod ahead of Murray or Hector, both of whom might be a bit jaded for different reasons. Likewise if Claire is a bit goosed after her run today, Either Hollie or Helen would be able replacements.

Indeed - 1st medal for GB these World Champs are John Crosby Bronze in Paralympic with 19/20- highest Para score on the day! I believe that that is a Final Result not subject to any Jury decisions.

We are just off to the banquet now where the prize giving is - results of others I'll put in the WTOC thread.

Relay: With a clean sweep domestically, it has to be INTERLOPERS for the men
Murray, Hector, Scott
When Scott is unavailable, normal policy is to call up an M16: who's out there?
Much as I'd like to see an AROS vs Arhus battle, I reckon:
Tess, Claire, Cat

...but what do I know?

Bit of fun is over

GG
Hector
Scott

Strong!

[eddie]

Apologies! I can't find the women's team.

Tessa, Claire, Cat

So the Nopesport picks get the nod

They always listen dont they? Two strong teams. Glad there doesnt seem to be anything up with Scotia then. Should be an exciting watch on woc live!

Bit confused about when the Women's relay is starting. The IOF Live centre said 13:00 CET and 11:00 GMT. So I make that Noon. That's to say, now. But the coverage doesn't start for another 55mins. Huh?

[buzz]

Any live TV - WOC live doesn't start for an hour apparently.

GPS tracks show them heading out to #1. So TV coverage for the second half only.

Tess on long gaffle to first control but with Finland. One in the bag for later on.

[Parkino]

Also longer gaffle to #3, but should've gone left on the path like Bagstevoldt. Lost time there.

Womens course - looks excellent!
