Swedish League Long: Lind and Engström

William Lind and Josefine Engström won the 5th Swedish League race of the season – a long distance race which was also the last of three World Cup (and therefore World Championships) selection races for Sweden.

Lind had a strong start and had a 2 minute lead after two thirds of the race. In the end second placed Filip Dahlgren got closer, but finished at a safe distance more than a minute behind. Albin Ridefeldt finished 3rd and Friday’s winner Thierry Gueorgiou (France) finished fourth.

In the women’s class Anna Bachman was closest to Engström – less than a minute behind – after a strong last third of the race. Emma Johansson finished third.

Men leg 7-8

Interesting leg because straight is fastest – but going around is best for most..

Women leg 8-9

No good reason to go around to the right: Too long and does not give you significantly better runnability.
