Matthias Müller (SUI), Valentin Novikov (RUS), Thierry Gueorgiou (FRA), Helena Jansson (SWE), Minna Kauppi (FIN) and Emma Engstrand (SWE) were the heat winners in todays EOC Middle Qualification in Latvia. Again several of the outsiders went out already in the qualification – among them the reigning World Champion over the Long Distance Matthias Merz (SUI). After a “quiet” championship for Thierry Gueorgiou so far, he is back on the top in the Qualification in his favourite discipline, the Middle distance.
