After a good night’s sleep, we awake to an EMPTY mail box for the first time in many months! The organisers can breathe a sigh of relief after some hectic days, and the participants looked happy as they left Siggerud yesterday after three good days.

Around 70 teams of 3-5 runners competed in the team competition for orienteers between 8 and 12 years old. Some of the challenges along the way included bush-orienteering, downhill and a control where flour and water were poured over the runners.
After Saturday’s Normal Distance, the winners of W16 and M16 were each presented with a “Veivalg Trophy”, a prize from Sportmedia.
At the third control, the Finn Tero Föhr and the Swede Emil Wingstedt took the best route choice. When the Swede fell, Föhr made the most of the opportunity to leave him behind and secure his first World Cup victory.
Elisabeth Ingvaldsen and Pål Skogedal gave Nydalen double victory in Saturday’s Craft Cup chasing start, with winning times of 1:32:44 and 2:01:00 respectively.
Anne Margrete Hausken was as pleased as though she had taken yet another EOC gold when victory at Friday’s World Cup competition was secure. -Middle distance has been my achilles heel, she said after the finish.
