		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for the comment, M. I think Mike here lists up different type of problems with World Cup races - and does not compare the problem in Poland with the problems in Portugal/Spain (which were significantly more severe). It is more that the issues in Poland now with live services &amp; official results being changed late adds up to the orienteering World Cup looking non-professional when looked at from the outside.

However, I still think you downplay the problems a bit: It is fine that official results were not changed, but there was no info about official results possibly being different from live results, and official results were published very late (they were not available at 6 PM when I wrote my article). Due to this, Norwegian media still think Ridefelt was second (http://www.nrk.no/sport/norsk-dobbel-i-verdcupsopninga-1.12925604), and photos from the flower ceremony also show Ridefelt in shared second. I was very surprised that the information available online when I wrote my article at 6 PM - many hours after the event finished - were wrong and had to be updated. When I found that the results in IOF Eventor were different from the live results (I found this around 7 PM, I think), I checked the news articles at orienteering.org, and these were still based on the live results (i.e. with Ridefelt in shared second). 

I tried to reach out to the IOF via Twitter to find out which results were correct, but received no answer (IOF have earlier been very responsive on Twitter, I therefore thought this to be a good channel). I then checked with the Norwegian Federation, and they had talked to somebody present in Poland and could confirm that the results in IOF Eventor were the correct ones (i.e. Ridefelt in third). I later found that the news articles at orienteering.org were changed. I still have not heard anything from the IOF, and neither from the organizers on my request for split times. And the live results are still wrong - they should have been fixed or removed.

Finally: The link you provided, http://worldcup2016.pl/,  unfortunately takes me directly to http://aztv.pl/ ....]]></description>
