Yes lots of women on course C got caught by the non-broken circle at 41. A few on the way S-1 and even more 1-2. Seems like a controller mistake?

But look at Hanna Lundberg! Yes, she missed one post, but she trashed even Tove in speed right out of the gate. She’s just 18 or 19, but look out for her in the future!

There is one big difference in Course A compared to B and C, they didnt had Control Nr. 41 (7th in B, 1st in C). The control ring is not cut over a fence west of the control site. And so so many got trapped there. Loosing around 20s there. So it would be at least a bit more even if it would have been better visible.

Strange choice to not make qualification courses equal in length. Women’s A was some 200m shorter than B & C, according to GPS. Winning time was 1.30 faster than B & C. Some of that is due to Tove’s speed, but five runners in A were faster than winners of B & C. 13min vs. 14min in qualification starts to be a noticeable difference w.r.t final.
