JWOC 2017 Long: Maps and Results

longpart

The third gold in a row for both Simona Aebersold (Switzerland) and Olli Ojanaho (Finland) at today’s Junior World Championships Long distance.

Very impressive by these two runners who manage to deliver top performances under high pressure day after day.

Men: Close battle all the way to the finish

In the men’s class, Sweden took both silver and bronze after a very tight and exciting finish. Simon Imark finished 2nd 43 seconds behind Ojanaho and Simon Hector another 13 seconds behind. Finland’s Aleksi Sorsa finished in 4th, only 14 seconds behind the bronze medal.

Ojanaho had a slow start and was more than a minute behind after one third of the course – he was however stronger than everybody in the end.

Women: More than three minutes for Aebersold

In the women’s class Aebersold took a very clear victory – with more than 3 minutes down to Finnish Veera Klemettinen and with Switzerland’s Sofie Bachmann in 3rd, nearly 7(!) minutes behind.  Here is a comparison between the two best women – Aebersold takes most time at the long route choice from 10 to 11.

Today’s courses had several routechoice legs – with one really long leg on each course; control 10 to 11 in the women’s course and control 13 to 14 in the men’s course.
