IFK Lidingö and OK Pan Århus took the victories in Smålandskavlen after very tight and exciting last legs.
In the mens class Lidingö’s Fredrik Johansson won with a gap of 39 seconds down to Södertälje-Nykvarn’s Jonas Leandersson. Of four teams starting together on the last leg, Kalevan Rasti’s Thierry Gueorgiou finished in 4th place – nearly two minutes down from Johansson. Anton Östlin run Malung in to a third place.
After taking the Jukola relay this spring – Emma Klingenberg decided another last leg for OK Pan Århus at Smålandskavlen. Göteborgs-Majorna with Anne Forsberg started nearly 1:30 behind out on the last leg – but in the end managed to push the gap down to 19 small seconds – still enough for the Danish girls to celebrate yet another relay victory. OK Tisaren (Lillian Forsgren) finished 3rd more than 3 minutes behind.
Maps & GPS-tracking
Johansson (IFK Lidingö) got the decisive gap to Södertälje-Nykvarn and Malung towards the end of the course (see map above) – having a different forking and executing the leg in a good way. Gueorgiou (Kalevan Rasti) had already lost nearly a minute earlier in the course, and was not anymore part of the leading group.
In the women’s class Klingenberg (OK Pan-Århus) did several mistakes of nearly a minute – see two of them below at control 6 and 7 – but her speed was generally higher. The mistake at control 13 was nearly enough to let Forsberg get past – but Klingenberg managed to keep ahead – and her finish sprint was excellent as always.
