JWOC Middle Qual: Results

Sören Bobach, Timo Sild, Tore Bjørseth Berdal, Siri Ulvestad, Signe Klinting and Jenny Lönnkvist were the heat winners when the middle distance qualification of the JWOC 2008 was held in Gothenburg, Sweden today. 60 men and women found their way to the finals.

20 from each heat

20 runners from each of the three qual heats went to the A final – giving a total of 60 runners in the A-finals. In the mens class there were more than 60 runners in each qual heat – thus it was quite challenging to reach the A-final. To manage the cut, you had to be within about 5 minutes behind the heat winner in the mens heats, and within about 7 minutes in the womens heats.

Below all runners getting to the final are listed (Note! from unofficial results).
