NORT Stage 1: Maps and Results

A very good start for the Nordic Orienteering Tour today – excellent TV coverage, live GPS tracking and very interesting races in both men’s and women’s categories in Helsinki today. We got yet another successful day for the Swiss duo Daniel Hubmann and Simone Niggli. Both decided the races after tight races.

Winners comments:

• Daniel Hubmann: – First I was really nervous, because they said the last control was missing. It was not on the electronic timekeeping, but it was on the backup.
  Todays competition was pretty cool. No troubles with the map exchange.

• Simone Niggli: – I am very happy. I heard at the map change that I was a bit after Minna, but I made a mistake before the map exchange, so I knew that I had the speed. The map change went very well for me, so I had a good feeling.
