European Champs

[Arnold]

They don't count towards the number of qualifiers. So if it's top 17 per heat then if a Canadian is in the top 17 they will take the top 18 through

They're also not eligible for for European medals, not that they stand much chance (except perhaps Emily)

[Lard]

Have lost Jo's tracking but by the looks of things she's caught the Finn. Looks like two heads might be better than one in that forest!

[afterthought]

Middle Finals - women's course is as men's except for a short section in the middle, so cameras and main route choices the same. Will be interesting to see if best routes are same.

Maja Alm just stormed the first 6 controls to take the lead, Jo was going well before she disappeared.
Haug the Estonian is taking some odd routes so far... Jo might catch her soon too!

[afterthought]

Men's - same gold and silver as sprint.

[plain lazy]

Jo taken my favoured route to #13, Fincke the Finn has gone low... think Jo might get away here.

[afterthought]

Plenty of TV time for Jo.

Ida Bobach caught her 2min and 4min runners by control one. May have their company for quite some time, especially as she is perhaps not fully recovered from injury.

[plain lazy]

Haug is having a mare of a race ahead of Jo... unless her GPS is way out. Where has Alm gone to #16?

[Freefall]

Disaster for Jess - didn't hit control 3

[Homer]

Jess had a nightmare at #3

Tove on a stormer...

[Lard]

Yep disaster for Jess. If she's in the first team tomorrow she should be jogging straight home the now...
Well done to Jo. Another solid international performance.

[Lard]

A blip for Cat at 5. Wyder did "Tullie" AT 3......
Good on you Jess for finishing. Hope you have mentally got back into it - remove that split from 3 and.......

[Freefall]

Not looking too positive for Cat either - well down at this stage

[Lard]

She could get back into a top 10 position if her head's with it.

[Lard]

Poor Chatang's missed one out, a long way to head back for it.
