[Update: Improved map quality]- One of the terrains with best runnability we I have been in on the trainings, Anders Norberg (Norway) said after running a steady qualification run in today’s WOC long qualification. Heat winners today were Olav Lundanes, Matthias Merz, Edgard Bertuks, Tatiana Riabkina, Simone Niggli and Minna Kauppi.
All big favourites managed to get to the finals. Andrey Khramov in 14th place was the one of the favourites who had most problems today.
Maps
Technically the challenges were smaller than what is expected in the final on Thursday.
Below you find the maps from the long distance qualification (map quality is now improved!).

16 qualified in WA?
There are two russian girls in the WA, but none in WB. It seems like there is an organizer’s mistake somewhere.
Has there been a complaint and time credit in WA?
Again, the resolution of the map files is very poor. This is inappropriate for a WOC. The organizers should provide high-quality map files, as it is common at international championships
@hatifnatter Thanks, I see
I am still trying to convince them to give me better quality maps. Sounds like I will get something better later this evening.
About the 16 girls in one heat, I heard there was some problem with a wrong map, but I have not got it confirmed.
Ryabkina started last and alone. They gave her a map with her number but with wrong course. Clear organizer’s bug.
@jan: please check maplinks: Women A shows Men C …
Thanks Martin. Fixed now. Third time I uploaded, and looks like they changed the PDF-file I generated jpg’s from :)
