On todays tough long distance (click for large map) Tero Föhr and Minna Kauppi took home victories. Kauppi beat Hausken only by a few seconds after the two being together for long parts of the course.
In the mens class, everything looked like a clear victory for Thierry Gueorgiou – but after Gueorgiou was celebrated as a winner for a few minutes, the splits showed that Gueorgiou had forgotten one of the three wings of the butterfly. Thus, victory went to Tero Föhr, who beat Emil Wingstedt in a duel from the second last control.

This course setting is really strange ! Lines cross other lines in all ways ! I understand thierry’s mistakes !
The runners had a map change on control 16 and on the arena. The map shown here is a “special made” map for all the runners and press to have after the race with the whole course on it. So this is not the map the runners used in the competition.
