Victories went to Pavel Kubat (Czech Republic) and Ida Bobach (Denmark) in today’s JWOC Long distance in Denmark. Sweden took silver medals in both categories – Johan Runesson among the men and Therese Klintberg among the women.
The race development was very exciting – especially in the mens class were first Olle Boström (SWE) had an 8 minute lead in the finish for a long time, then Matthias Kyburz took over the lead with nearly two minutes. Johan Runesson came in to a new lead position towards the end of the race, and then finally Pavel Kubat took the gold medal at a very late start number. Take a look at the LiveBlog at the bottom of this page to replay the excitement.
