There are 3 different forkings to control 10, and they are ranked separately. Tim Robertson was 1:31 behind the fastest runner (Simon Hector) on his forking.

Later I realised that he had the long variation and chose to run the fields and around. As a curiosity it would be interesting to know how this choice played out. However I do not have the skill to find this information. Anyone want to look at this?
Also a great thank you for this great site!
Jon

Unlike the EOC, there was not that many times I was thinking that there must be more interesting things to show than what you are showing now. (Of course, there were cases were Finnish runners were shown instead of more “interesting” runners, but I guess that is to be expected.)

There is still one thing that could make the TV broadcasts much better. Why do we only get to see the name of the runners and not their running time until very close to the TV control/finish? What is the value of not showing the running time?
