There are a few GPS-animation that I’m missing in the TV-production.

1) Lundanes, Hubman, Kaas and Kyburz, absolute (not synced)
2) Basset, Bergman and Gueorgiou, absolute

Frankly, it was a bit confusing to see runners together i the TV-camera, and then see the GPS-tracking showing they were not together.

Showing and absolute animation on these would tell the story where and how they got together.

Same applies to the women with Hausken/Alexandersson and Gemperle/Wyder.

Somewhiat dissagree. Bergman catches Basset 2/3 into the 2nd leg, and they are together till control 6-7 where they are caught up by Gueorgiou. They are roughly together till control 17 where Bergman makes a small mistake, looses contact and eventually runs out of steam. Up till that point, I would say Bergman is very much in the mix.

Bergmans speed was generally to low yesterday.
In the national teams WOC Blog http://vm-bloggen.orientering.se/bergman-hur-kunde-det-bli-sa-har/ he describes the situation: Thierry just catched him up ahead of the forking and he decided to push just to have a lift to the finish, but he was to weak that day, he missed TG by 20 seconds. Ergo: It needs a deep black day to loose somebodies back in such a loop, at least if starting order is as it is today.
