Graphical view of WC middle final splits

Minna Kauppi had a clear lead – but lost it all. Valentin Novikov had the middle distance king on his knees – but blew it in the end. Niggli did two large mistakes of more than 2 and 3 minutes, respectively, which took away her victory chances. Even Thierry G. had a solid mistake at the 10th control. It was an extremely difficult middle distance today – with the big stars loosing lots of time in the tricky parts!
Some observations:

  • Thierry G. caught Daniel Hubmann already at the fourth control. Thierry was in front most of the way – Hubmann passing by at the very end of the course.
  • It looks like Holger Hott Johansen and Valentin Novikov have not been that close together all the way – rather changing the lead and running more separate ways.
  • Minna Kauppi had a huge more than two minute mistake at the 10th control, after having run away from Emma Engstrand.

I show just a few screenshots below – see for yourself for all the juicy details..
