...in the meantime Junior world champion Markus Puusepp (EST)
is geting Estonian hopes up, he passes spectator control in 2nd place
...and Una Arama (LAT) the current leader in the womens finish was ineloquent. Not very happy about her race, but still - leading.

... and a few snippets at the mo
In men's spectator control
Michael Smola is the leader, still running with Edgar Bertuks, but only 18 sec ahead of Yury Masnyy (RUS)
Martin Grotle Soukup (NOR)
comes in walking. His comment to fans: bad day at work.
Yesterdays winner Seline Stalder (SUI)
says she made a big mistake together with Dana Brozkova with the 13th control. It was a compass mistake and they got really lost. The terrain must be demanding!
