WOC and WTOC 2016 in SWE

[EddieH]

Mind you looking at TV1 pre-warning to TV1 - 500m and no-one more than a few seconds short of 5 minutes.

[johnrobinson]

now got commentary, think it has just come on but I had my speakers turned down so missed when it started

[mharky]

I thought the sounds of the forest were much better than this utter drivel.

[johnrobinson]

Now you've upset them , its gone again.

[johnrobinson]

Ralph seems to be going well on 1st 3 controls now onto long route choice leg
taking northern option.

[mharky]

Whilst it's nice that every country gets a starter, perhaps if you're getting caught 72 minutes before the spectator, you shouldn't really be there

[johnrobinson]

Suspect the terrain is a bit different in egypt.

more sand and big pointy rocks.

[johnrobinson]

Ralph still going well and coming up to tv 1

I'm thinking of moving to Uruguay and applying for citizenship... I think even at my standard I'd manage to be inside those times!

[maprun]

Ralph finished strongly.

[Scott]

On the plus side, Egypt's performance has improved significantly since last year.

[mharky]

Hubman maybe 30s faster than Thierry at 5

[mharky]

LIVE SYNC to 5

[Scott]

Very different routechoices from Hubmann and Thierry on the long leg to 12.

[Scott]

Lundanes pretty much level with Hubmann's time at 17; Kyburz looks like he's slightly in the lead at 16.

Anybody understand why MacLennan keeps saying that athlete X is "making a move"? Makes it sound like a head-to-head track race.
