Well done to Scotland for getting results on so quickly. Not only results but splits and photos

M14 winning time of 13 and a half minutes, W14 winning time of 15 mins. I know junior courses are a meant to be a bit shorter than once upon a time, but isn't that taking things to extremes?!

seriously though, without the smiley face... that is an absolute joke...

if i had gone to the JHI's as an M14 (well, i say if, i did) and the 'classic' course was won in 13 and a half minutes, and it was only 2.4km (why? why so short?!!) i'd be pretty pissed off...

From FVO web pages:

England took the trophies as overall winners, and as winners of the Individual competition on Saturday.

Scotland took the trophy for being the Relay winners on Sunday.

Wales beat Ireland to take home the Judith Wingham trophy

Results are here

Because their courses were so short they also missed the best part of the area, which a regular 3-4km course would have gone into.

Agree, agree, agree!!!

Only put the smiley face because I'm the one that everybody seems to think is a protagonist of short courses - but there's a time and a place, and this was very definitely neither!

Just looking at the maps on paper, but they look so way out even at a very quick glance, that I would be interested to know what the planner's and controller's thinking each was (just as much a controlling issue, because they don't look the appropriate standard, which is part of their job to ensure). We are talking the best M14s in the UK after all.

Ha ha ha - love the report - reads the equivalent of:

"AMERICA COMES SECOND IN RYDER CUP (narrow victory by Europeans)"

well, it took me a lot of restraint to make it that impartial :p you have to remember [nope] industries is a scottish business!

Strikes me it's sexist. The winning boys get named but not the girls :wink:

by **Mrs H.** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 12:17 pm

Nah! yours is fine Murray - I meant the one on the FVO website which the BOF front page is routed to and so might be construed as somewhat "official" ,opens with

Strong performances from the Scottish girls in the Junior Home International Orienteering Championships at the weekend led the team to overall victory in the Relay Championships, and a close second place in the overall results.

It doesn't actually mention who won until the last paragraph :wink:

ah ok... mine did go through a few drafts though to make it balanced!
