It was still devastating to see how much time she lost, particularly since she was matching Ida Bobach’s running speed all the way to the end.

Remember I was surprised by the extremely large time loss of Rantanen. From the course-setter comment it seems clear that the map is very bad and misleading, the hill-side Rantanen fought through towards the control should have been marked with green stripes as the runnability here must have been terrible. Even though Rantanen made clear route-choice mistake on this leg, she should not have been punished more than ca 1-2 minutes from looking at the map with all white forest in the hill-side!
