Swiss World Champion sprint from 2011, Daniel Hubmann, uses Twitter to complain about the map quality at the cancelled World Cup sprint in Lysekil last Saturday. – Never ran a WC-Sprint on such a bad map. Too many thicknesses of lines, Hubmann writes on Twitter.
The above map sample and picture from the presentation at the teamleader meeting shows the problem Hubmann is adressing. The thickest fence is forbidden, the medium thin and thin are passable.

The multiple thicknesses seemed like a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.
they could use not multiple thicknesses, but, for example unpassible fench 522 to 524.
They tried to draw both a passable fence and an impassable wall beneath it. There is only room for one symbol, which should be the wall. The passable fence symbol invites orienteers to cross it – they get there and they are trapped.
