Viszont látásra Miskolc
The World Championships are now over for this time. We spent the last two days running the spectator races and enjoying the Hungarian cuisine. Today was the Long Final, next to the Slovakian border in the north. The terrain was karst with big depressions and rocky ground, but mostly very open forests. The Swiss dominated with wins both in the mens and womens by Daniel Hubmann and Simone Niggli. We are now getting ready for the banquet and party tonight and packing our bags to come home for the C ...

Dramatic Relay
38 nations started the mens relay at 11 am this morning close to the village of Bankut. Patrick Goeres opened for Canada, but struggled a bit on the first leg. After a small mistake on the first control he lost the train of the leading pack and then had to fight the rest of the way without the help of the speed of the fastest teams. Patrick changed over to Mike Smith in 27th position, 9:25 behind Russia. Mike had the best run of the day on the Canadian team and picked up to 24th, passing Team US ...

Top 40
Patrick improved his result from the Sprint Final last year in Czech Republic, breaking into the top 40, finishing in 38th position. He felt a little bit tired after the qualifier in the morning, but the race was basically clean apart from a few hesitations and map stops. Behind the amazing winning time of the Russian Andrey Khramov the field was very close. Only 50 seconds faster would have moved Patrick all the way up to the top 20. Silver and bronze went to Switzerland again for Fabian Hertne ...

Patrick is in!
Patrick Goeres made it into the Sprint Final with a hard run without much time lost on mistakes. 11th position with 13 seconds to spare! The terrain was not quite as tricky as the model map indicated, but still required intense navigation. Controls were placed very close and there was an unusually large number of runners disqualified for punching the wrong control. Patricks exact start time in the final is 4:36 pm local time in Hungary (e.g 7:36 am in Vancouver, 11:36 am in Halifax). Make sure t ...
