For me the Trail O bit was the least relevant of the insert clips used and I wouldnt have gone down that road. Trail O is a different sport and trying to include this in a programme which was trying to present a sport already unfamiliar to the general public I think was a step too far. I guess one problem was the limited amount of filler clips of orienteering that are in existence.
I'd agree - much as I welcomed showing the TrailO coverage (which TBH was a bit of a distraction on the day as we were told we were going to be interviewed about our European Champs medals - which was why Tom was wearing his), I think having the TrailO as part of a different programme (I think it was originally going to be shown alongside BOC that was the same w/e) would have left more room to show some of the Veteran races or interviews with some of the older and younger competitors.
Was that newer presented an MTB person, if so maybe they should get her givinh MTBO a go in the future!
