Re: World Orienteering Championships
The map sample looks very like the World Universities from 1982 - still one of the toughest races I've ever run... Hot, massive route choices, massive hills and tiny gaps between huge crags all adding up to a monster day of fun
Good luck to all the team.

Re: World Orienteering Championships
On The Red Line will do its best to keep up, although we will not be in the arenas this year. The TV should be good we think.

The Champs are doing a lot on Instagram #woc2021czech - plenty of interviews there too.

Re: World Orienteering Championships
Hmm, quite a tricky little sprint area with loads of walls (fortifications) and a moat.

Nathan running really well in his heat on GPS, but Chris' GPS hasn't left the start..
Edit: Chris going fine on live results - so it's just his GPS tracker that's still at the pre-start

Re: World Orienteering Championships
Chris, Nathan and Pete all through in 10th, 11th, 12th.
Great runs by Alice and Grace to qualify, but a horrible error by Cecilie on #17 cost her 4 minutes.

Re: World Orienteering Championships
Well that was exciting!
Tove Alexandersson taking the win in the Womens Sprint despite a 30 sec 'route choice' mistake. Equal 4th place for Alice who continues to improve and 12th place for Grace in her first WOC.
A big surprise in the Mens race with young Swede, Isac Von Krusenstierna, winning with a near faultless race. Hoddy 14th, Schminty 24th and Nathan 25th.
Really good courses with some great route choice legs and intricate navigation created a an exciting race with lots of action, it was such a shame that the TV production couldn't cope. I felt sorry for the commentators who missed almost all the key moments.
Actually Tove's route to 12 might have been a reasonable one but she couldn't get back through finish despite the map showing a gap - no doubt the Nopesport controllers will take a view!

Taking a route to 12 via the start, finish, 20, 19 and 13 looks entirely legitimate on the map, if a little longer. It has the advantage of being largely on tarmac and pre-running the last part of the course! I assume it was never intended to be a route choice, in which case the Controller should have made sure the OOB overprint between the start and finish closed the gap.
However the main story here is that an athlete who wins Sprint Gold with a 30sec mistake is clearly in a class of her own. Well done Tove.

There was one athlete who completed Tove’s intended route. According to the tracking, Josefine Lind ran through the start and finish, re-entering the fort via the finish tunnel.

Re: World Orienteering Championships
Brilliant run by by Alice... the AIRE Spring sprint League was obviously perfect preparation! Once you've finished 4th, you know that you can perhaps one day become world champion.

Re: World Orienteering Championships
A fascinating Sprint Relay yesterday with GBR competing for Bronze thro most of the race, finishing on the podium. Well worth the 6Eu for pretty good TV and commentary.
Does anyone know if this WOC (covid impacted) is being ‘scored’ for national teams to get promoted/relegated between the divisions?

Promotion only - no relegation.
And great running from Team GB so far - good luck for the rest of the championships!

Re: World Orienteering Championships
Ralph and Peter both safely through Middle qualification.
You've got to feel for Ali T. First off in his first WOC and finishing 16th in his heat so just missing out. I'm sure he'll be back stronger in the future...
Over to the girls..

Re: World Orienteering Championships
Looks like Cat and Megan qualify in 15th, but Grace misses out.
Really tough steep rocky courses in the green early on.
Question is what happened to the RWT of 25mins, that no one got near?
