I am thrilled that you highlighted the Long course at WUOC 1998. At the time I thought this was the best course I had ever seen, and started to write an article about it, intended for ONA (North American O magazine). Unfortunately I never finished the article, but thank you for restoring the memory.

I also like your 2010 Sprint Qual choice.

I parlty agree with your “worst course”. I think the WOC 2010 Middle event deserves great criticism, being the absolute worst world class O event I am aware of. For the future of our sport, this event cannot be criticized too much.

However, I am reluctant to criticize the course, because I think the course setter(s) did fantastic work with the given assignment. Assuming the stupid legs in the middle were for the cameras, I cannot criticize a single detail.

I think the people responsible for the terrain selection deserve the full force of criticm, and perhaps some lesser criticism for the people who required a spectator loop (probably also above the course setter), which serves no purpose when there is good camera coverage.

Still, I like your opinions very much, thank you.

Erik Paulsrud and Anders Storbraten were course setters.

There should be lots of copies in NTNUIs basement, at least it was a few years back. It should also be scanned in NTNUIs (internal) net. Looking for it in my basement is a hopeless task.
