World Cup tomorrow morning

HeadHoncho Posted: 17 June 2010, 7:08 AM   Go Chris, Todd and Lizzie ... their start times (our time): Todd 1.43 a.m. Chris 2.09 a.m. Lizzie 3.02 a.m. Live web broadcast and GPS tracking, if anyone is awake.   Michael Posted: 18 June 2010, 3:40 AM   What didn't anyone stay up??? I must admit to only looking this morning, surprised (and pleased) to see the innovations in the competition format in the Nordic Tour. Combination of middle+sprint with change of map scale. Legitimises the "inserts at larger scale" as used here occasionally, as well as doing it with a map change. And more innovations in stages 2 and 3.

There is a bit of video coverage of the final of the knock out sprint here - http://www.orientering.se/Nyheter/Knockout-segeravtaktiskHelenaJansson/ Looks like fun, we would have some awesome areas for this sort of racing!   Michael Posted: 23 June 2010, 6:10 AM   Agree. Years ago Malcolm ran some sprints with a mass start (Waitarere, Tinakori), though more recently we have felt the need to have loops and forking. Likewise the Oz sprint champs used to have a mass start for the older classes, now they have moved to intervals. It would be a different type of competition - but maybe some similarities to the big relays where not every leg has splits? Where are your dream venues Darren?
