WOC Long Qual: Map and Results

Graham Gristwood, Baptiste Rollier, Thierry Gueorgiou, Minna Kauppi, Simone Niggli and Marianne Andersen won the six qualification heats in todays Long Qualification. All the top names got through to the finals – but some of the outsiders like Carl Waaler Kaas (old injury got worse during the race) did not manage to be among the top 15 who went to the final.

Most impressive today: Thierry Gueorgiou who says he really wants to win a WOC Gold medal over the Long distance – and today shot a small warning shot with his 58;01 in Heat C.

Map

Below you find maps for men (all three heats in one map) and women (also all heats in one map). A long leg met the runners already to the first control – and also some interesting routechoices in the rest of the course.
