Weird banana to 17 for the Carcas train, wonder if the path isn't as obvious as it looks on the map!

Quite a few people have run off down there instead of turning down the correct path, I think there must be another small track. Which doubtless is getting more obvious the more people go down it!

Sasha taking the long track route to #13 but extending the gap to Bonek behind him

[frostbite]

Krivda losing time at 15 - that's a place gained for Sasha

[JamesE]

Sasha finishes in 2nd place, and if I'm not mistaken even if everyone else left comes ahead of him he should still beat his PB of 16th last year

[maprun]

Strong second half for Sasha. Last starter just off, only 26.20 to wait...

[andy]

Top 10 for Sasha?

[andy]

7th, nice one! 1 second off the podium...

[maprun]

7th, nice one! 1 second off the podium...

and 30s off bronze!!!

[maprun]

Sasha was second quickest on the second half, only 15s slower than the flying Ojanaho.

[afterthought]

Many congratulations to Sasha on a great run. Really fine second half. Good to see his team haircut on the TV after he finished too.

Coincidentally 7th, 1 second off 6th, several Swedes ahead, is an echo of 7 years ago:

Good start from Fiona, in 7th at the first radio. This sprint looks hard!

[buzz]

Three more GB none-starters already today (Grace, Jenny, Matt). Have they all caught Fiona's bug? If not GB seem to be ploughing a loan furrow in dropping races. I hope the athletes have bought in to this strategy - it certainly hasn't been a popular one in the past.

[Lard]

If Grace has been forced to miss the sprint by Team Management they will get a piece of my mind. The girl is still learning the ropes and needs all the exposure she can get.
It's not like they have another race to do tomorrow!

I'm sure it's not that though. I'm holding out that Paul understands orienteering a bit more than Jackie

[RichT]

You're such the optimist
