[Updated with Team Selections] Matthias Kyburz, Daniel Hubmann, Rahel Friedrich and Elena Roos won the Swiss selection races for the European Championships in Czech Republic and the World Cup round in Poland.
Thursday’s long distance had some tricky controls in stony terrain were some of the top runners searched for several minutes – see the tricky area in the top of this article. In the end Matthias Kyburz and Elena Roos were the fastest – Kyburz’s win was more than 6 minutes ahead of his brother Andreas.
The selection races continued with a 3000 meter and a sprint race on Saturday. Here again Matthias Kyburz was fastest on the 3000 meter, while Daniel Hubmann beat Kyburz with half a minute on the sprint. In the women’s class Rahel Friedrich won both the 3000 meter and the sprint – with Elena Roos closest on the spring and Sabine Hauswirth on the 3000 meter.
The final race was the Swiss Championships middle distance. Here Daniel Hubmann took another victory among the men while Rahel Friedrich took another for the women.
