NORT Stage 2: Live from 18:05 CET – 5 Swiss men and 5 Swedish women

Jan Kocbach June 21, 2011 Orienteering News 19 Comments

[Update: 5 Swiss men and 5 Swedish women in Semi-finals – Semi-finals live from 18:05]

From 18:05 CET you can follow the KnockOut sprint Worldwide on webTV – but already at 10:00 CET the qualification starts with a regular sprint race. As for stage 1, the qualification time counts in the overall along with bonus points from the final round, and thus the qualification race is also important for the overall (although time differences are expected to be much smaller in a regular sprint).

Streetview Preview of the old map&terrain

With the old map available online – and Google Streetview also available for significant parts of the area – it is tempting to set the two together to “take a walk” through the terrain while studing the map to look at what to expect at the race. See here a short video where map and Streetview is compared. Or take a walk yourself in this interactive demo.

KnockOut Sprint NORT 2010

2010 was the first year a KnockOut sprint was organized as part of the World Cup – then also as the second stage of NORT. Nobody seemed to be really impressed with either the courses nor the TV broadcast. In the race report last time, WorldofO.com wrote “From watching the TV broadcast, it looked like the runners were mostly following each other – the tactics for the one behind being to wait for a mistake from the one in front.”. With this years race being more in the forest with possibilities for longer legs, there is hope that the orienteering will be more interesting for the runners. However, there will yet again be no spreading method at all (at least there won’t be any forking error then), so following will again be a possible tactics.

Results from last year:

Men
1. Fabian Hertner (SUI)
2. Jerker Jysell (SWE)
3. Francois Gonon (FRA)
4. Øystein Kvaal Østerbø (NOR)
5. Graham Gristwood (GBR)
6. Daniel Hubmann (SUI)

Women
1. Helena Jansson (SWE)
2. Beata Falk (SWE)
3. Galina Vinogradova (RUS)
4. Maja Alm (DEN)
5. Simone Niggli (SUI)
6. Elise Egseth (NOR)

About NORT Stage 2

In the morning it is a qualification race, the 30 best are qualified and divided into 5 quarter finals. There are 5 consecutive mass-start quarter-finals each running the same course with a 7-9 minute winning time. The 2 best runners in each heat are qualified for semifinal and also the 2 runners with the fastest times in places 3 and 4.

The 2 semifinal-heats also have 6 runners in each heat and the qualification for the final is the same as for the semi-final. All runners that are qualified for quarter-final get bonus time from 120 to 1 second. There are 2 consecutive mass-start semi-finals each running the same course with a 6-8 minute winning time. The final will be a mass-start Sprint with a 8-10 minute winning time.

The terrain is mixed of urban areas and parks, moderately hilly, some large building complexes connected. Dry and mainly level underfoot, therefore good run ability. Generally very good visibility.

NORT 2011 Program

Following the qualification Thursday morning is a regular sprint final in the afternoon. The race time for this sprint final does not count in the overall – instead bonus seconds are awarded – 120 seconds for the winner, 90 seconds for number two, and 70, 60, 55, 50, 40, 38, 36, 34, 32, 30, 18, 17, 16 and so on down to 1 second for number 30.

    Womens leader Anni-Maija Fincke doesn´t run, because of her achilles tendon problems. http://www.suunnistusliitto.fi/SSL/sslwww.nsf/sp?open&cid=Media&screen=newsscreen&newsid=content266D98

      seems that all the links for the live results are be cancelled…

      The mention of live results on the NORT page was just removed (it was there at 10:00 without link, and at 10:10 it was gone). Probably they have problems with live services – please add a comment if you find live results..

    Why is it in Finnland always no problem and in Sweden they don’t get it? They are so professional, or they think they are…. This is just a shame for NORT!!

    How hard can it be? – even just a webcam on the finish and to upload the results every 10 minutes…
    “Swedish Orienteering – To be the worst World Cup Organsers in the World…”
    You can bet in January 2013, the World Cups in New Zealand will be so much better online LIVE coverage…

    On the plus side, good to have live global Internet TV coverage going out for the final – of course if you can’t speak Swedish you are pretty stuffed…

    This is a really bad results service from Sweden. I could do a better job if I was in the Goteborg audience and had my iPhone.

    Hopefully the IOF are looking at this when they make their decision about WOC 2015. It’s a shame the chief adviser to the council is Swedish though.

    Eric and Ath are so right. Sweden think they are so great at everything, but they never get it right. At least we don’t have to pay money to not get anything, unlike at 10Mila.

    Just in case anybody wonders: in case of equal time the result of NORT1 qualification decides.

    Swedish organisation must improve. In addition, there were some problems and shortages during the MTBO World Cup.
