Dont forget Edgars Bertuks, who also missed the final (not a favourite in sprint but still one of the “big” guys in orienteering)
Yep, I noticed. But Kratov won a World Cup race a few days ago. There is still a few weeks until WOC when Bertuks usually “wakes up”.
4,1 with a lot of detours around buildings and fences in just over 14 mins is very fast.
The 4.1 km includes the detours around the buildings and fences, I guess. Still fast, though.
I dont like those trap fences in the final.. It makes the area more exciting for sprint, but…
