Our die-hard orienteers, Maureen and Dick are on the orienteering circuit in Europe and have just completed their first race at the World Masters which are being held in the Western parts of Switzerland also known as the Jura. Well, before they head into the real technical areas, the sprint was first up and it's great to report that they both made the A-final. Here are the results:
Maureen W75A
10th / time: 16.10 (winning time: 13.09)
Dick M65A
54th / time: 17.44 (winning time: 13.48)
Sibylle B. W40A
26th / time: 15.46 (winning time: 12.07)
Australia has two new World Champions with Jenny Bourne winning convincingly in W55A and Herman Wehner in M85A. Jenny had already been doing extremly well in the Swedish 5-day were she was mixing in with the podium placings! Warren and Natasha Key are becoming regulars in taking home medals for their country, with Warren in 3rd and Natasha in 2nd.

...and how did Linda/Aldo find all this out I asked myself? And then I went to the website
http://www.wmoc2010.org/content/view/120/99/lang,en/
and discovered very sophisticated result publishing.
Anyway, just for a little context:
M65 had 356 registered runners
W75 had 40 registered runners
according to the statistics page, and by the way there were only 44 from Australia of the over 4,000 registrants.
So, extremely well done, Maureen and Dick!
