Orienteering World Cup Final - Italy
The World Cup Orienteering races took place in Cansiglio Forest, in the foothills of the Dolomites, northern Italy at the weekend.
The Middle-distance race was in a fast and open forest, with complex contour detail and a lot of crags and rock which meant that high concentration was necessary as well as strength and speed. Tove Alexandersson (SWE) and Kaspar Harlem Fosser (NOR) were worthy winners, with Megan Carter-Davies (GB) and Ralph Street (GB) putting in excellent performances to finish 10th and 22nd respectively.
