Thierry Gueorgiou and Helena Jansson got a DNF and DNS respectively in World Cup race number 4 of the season at O-festivalen in Oslo, Norway. Thus many managers lost two of the runners in their team, and thus only had a team of 8 runners. Manager Magne Dæhlie with the Dæhlie Team did not have Gueorgiou in his team – instead he had both winners Minna Kauppi (picture, right) and Martin Johansson (picture, left) in his team – and thus took the victory for World Cup race number four with a total of 640 points.
In the overall Fantasy World Cup, the Scary Team increased its lead to 19 points – with Bushmen in second spot.
Jansson dropped the race due to knee problems, whereas Gueorgiou quit the race at the 21st control as can be seen on the GPSseuranta Tracking from the event.
The World Cup – and therefore also the Fantasy World Cup – now takes a break until the World Orienteering Championships in Hungary in August. The next three World Cup races are the WOC Middle distance on August 19th, the WOC sprint distance on August 20th and the Long distance on August 23rd.

“Gueorgiou quit the race at the 21st control as can be seen on the GPS”
Yes, I noticed that. But why did he quit?
Indeed why? What happened? No information at all nowhere. I also noticed from GPS track that when his teammate Damien Renard accidentally passed by, he also stopped and they came together with Thierry really slowly back to the CC. Injury or some beesting again?
