We have enjoyed the TV broadcast of the KO sprint. Challenging terrain and brilliant courses, with route choices and suspense to the last control, and new route choice options in the final after removing the forbidden area.

Congratulations to the winners, organisers and volunteers!

Yes, the GPS tracking is always a problem with high buildings and narrow alleys. But there are nuances in hell here – TracTrac I always experience as surrealistic disinformation, don’t understand why they keep getting gigs like this. Finnish GPS Seuranta I find much better…

I watched today’s knockout sprint. The TV production included GPS tacking, but – as always for a city sprint – it is totally wrong and totally confusing. For a normal TV viewer this is just chaos – dots an lines jumping around all over the place – through buildings and fences. With the current technology, GPS tracking does not add any value. I am surprised that IOF still wants to promote the sport in this way.

First, could anyone provide us with some details, e.g., terrain photos, about the olive-green protest by yellow-blue “protest specialists” after the KO-sprint qualifiers?

Second, there are reports about failure of the touch-free mode at KOSQ controls. How could these problems be avoided in the future? AFAIK, the timing at high quality events was managed in a perfect manner by Sportident staff till 2019.

Thank you in advance, in particular to the organisers. Looking forward to watching the KO finals
