Matthias Merz had a time of 9:12 to the 5th control, and he went right on the path. So if you are fast on the tracks and marshes you are also fast on the right one.

I really do hate the way how Thierry expresses himself about the race. Both here (press conference) and right after the race. He behaves like he has no recpect to other competitors and this was not for the first time. I think someone should point this out. If he had not wanted the bronze, he should have waited those 30 seconds and I think Francois would have been very happy with the bronze yesterday. For me, Thierry is definitelly not the kind of the sportsman everyone should admire – not only achivements, but also behavior makes the personality… Hope that Francois will beat him on Saturday!

Wow, impressive work. Your analysis covers the essence of orienteering, distance vs terrain. Add to that a personal ability of the runners and you have a great article.. thanks
