– Looking forward to my battle with the night legend, are the words of the King of Middle distance – Thierry Gueorgiou – before the battle against Anders Nordberg at tonights long night leg of Jukola – the third leg.
The 3rd leg is set to start at 00:11 CET with finish time 01:30 CET – thus there is now one extra reason to stay up late. Gueorgiou himself is delighted to run the long night leg after running the last leg every year since 2003.
– Last time I wasn’t running the last leg for KR was 2002! But got this year a leg I have always wanted to run, going to be fun!
Indeed it is going to be fun – and not only for Gueorgiou.
