We had a terrific terrain here, exactly what I like in a middle distance (Gueorgiou)
The races in Portugal/Spain in winter time is a good time to collect some WRE points if you focus on the race – as many others are in the middle of a training period. The WRE points for a race do not give a full picture of how good a race is – but the points help Gueorgiou securing his spot on top of the World Ranking ahead of a season with World Championships on home ground. Simone Niggli won the women’s race – but did “only” get around 1300 WRE points.

- We had a terrific terrain here, exactly what I like in a middle distance. It’s possible to run really fast, because the terrains are so clean, but there is also a large density of elements, so you have to do the right options in order to continue running faster and faster. I liked a lot the race today, Thierry Gueorgiou said to Ultimate-Orienteering.com.
It was a very challenging terrain, not only because of the stones, but also because of the green between the stones, Simone Niggli said to Ultimate-Orienteering.com.
