Jan Kocbach September 2, 2012 Orienteering News 3 Comments

The “King of Middle” is back – Thierry Gueorgiou (France) won the middle distance race in Holmenkollen ahead of Peter Öberg (Sweden) and Matthias Kyburz. Simone Niggli (Switzerland) is “impossible” these days – winning again – this time with another Swiss runner in second spot – Judith Wyder.

Overall NORT leader Olav Lundanes (Norway) did some mistakes in the technical first part of the course – finishing down on 5th place – 1:19 behind the flying French. With this result Lundanes keeps his overall lead in the Nordic Orienteering Tour – 34 seconds ahead of Thierry Gueorgiou with another 3 seconds down to the Swiss WOC champion Matthias Kyburz.

In the women’s class Simone Niggli has increased her lead significantly to more than 3 minutes. Her lead down to Helena Jansson in second spot is 3:39. Judith Wyder in third is one second behind Jansson.

Maps

Today’s middle distance had a very technical start – many top runners had problems in the start. Notably second placed Tove Alexandersson and third spot from yesterday Anne Margrethe Hausken did big mistakes early in the course.

The second part of the course had a long routechoice leg – the same for the men and the women. Interestingly the left routechoice was best for the men – the right for the women – the reason being that the men are much stronger up the steep hill.
