The start list for the JWOC sprint is available at the JWOC homepage – and we can also show some pictures from the model event earlier today.
In the mens class, the three favorites named in the previous posting – Søren Bobach, Mikael Kristensson and Olav Lundanes start at 11:05, 11:18 and 11:25. The first starter is John Goodwin (USA) at 9:30 – and the mens Sprint is closed with Daniel Martin De Los Rios (ESP) at 11:37 (all times are local times – subtract 8 hours to get CET, i.e. last start at 03:37 CET).
In the womens class, Aniana Senn (SUI) is the first starter at 09:30 – and Norways Kine Hallan Steiwer is the last to get out into the forest at 10:59. Hallan Steiwer is actually among the favourites, so in the womens class nothing is decided before everyone has finished the race. Siri Ulvestad at 10:47 and Eva Svensson at 10:20 are two of the favorites.
Pictures from Model Event
Thanks to Christoph Rüedlinger, we can provide some pictures from todays Model Event, to give you some feeling of the athmosphere in the forests down under. According to the reports, everybody is having a good time, and the cold weather (8 degrees C and some rain tomorrow during the finals) does not seem to hide the smiles…
