Good to see it making mainstream news thanks to Fraser I guess. Fantastic result Matt!

mmm, that article is quite similar to what I wrote isn't it, that pretty much sums up how mainstream media works. But great to see it in the mainstream, and once again, awesome result Matt!

Great stuff. Incredible - and on such a lovely technical map - Kiwis can fly and orienteer.
Lovely pictures:

Matt, I was excited about 10th, for a gold I was even glad that Mike rang me at 12:30 at night (even if I was getting up at 5:30am to catch a plane!) Congratulations! I hope it gives the whole team confidence in their abilities.

Absolutely magnificent effort Matt - gotta feel a bit sad that such a huge achievement does not rate a mention on www.nzorienteering.com

I remember the awesome event that was Alistair winning the World Cup event in NZ in 1994 when Matt was 1 or 2 years old. This is momentous. Awesome Matt. Lets hope it's not that long until NZs next win on the world stage. The relays have started now. Go NZ!

Tim Robertson brings the boys in with a respectable first leg run. Who's he tagged?
