Difference between this and all the other crazy ideas - this one looks fair, fun, and actually workable, I really like the look of this format

[Patrick]

It looks remarkably like the old Hagaby format to me....is there any difference at all?

Patrick

[gg]

Not a lot, other than its fairly short distance and on a sprint map

[EddieH]

With a very high density of controls

[distracted]

But why tout it as another format for inclusion in WOC? Aren't there enough disciplines there already?

[Becks]

Yeah, it looks like fun, but I don't see what it could add to the present format at all? Good for a World Cup race perhaps, but why try to add it to WOC?

Coz they got p****d of that Micro wasn't accepted:)

[greywolf]

Three laps and not one control at the top of the tower??

[Dave]

they didn't even have a leg accross the ski jump. thats the best bit about that area

[Olsoran]

Well a degree of remapping will be needed pretty shortly since the current Holmenkollen will be torn down in spring/summer 2008 and a new ski arena in place for the World Championships in 2011.
