6 can win the overall WC

novikov.jpgEven if Thierry Gueorgious performance today was fantastic, and he is the big favourite for winning the overall World Cup, there are still 6 runners from 6 different nations who can take home the overall World Cup in the mens class. And as we saw today from Daniel Hubmann and Emil Wingstedts performance – everything can happen in these french forests.

Below you see a figure which lets everybody win the last race except for Thierry Gueorgiou. As you can see, actually Valentin Novikov comes up as the possible runner up if both Gueorgiou and Hubmann fail to make good races tomorrow – after his second spot in todays long distance. However, for Novikov to win the overall World Cup, Gueorgiou must be number 32 or worse and Hubmann number 24 or worse in the middle distance tomorrow ….
