OWC2022 10th WORLD PLACING | Tim Robertson. has f

OWC2022 10th WORLD PLACING | Tim Robertson. has finished with an excellent 10th place overall on the Orienteering World Cup leaderboard after the third and final round of events in Switzerland.

With a finish of 36th in the middle distance and now 45th in the long event, Tim has added another 5 points to the 160 he gained from his sprint performances in Round 1. The overall winner was Kasper Harlem Fosser of Norway in the men's, with Sweden’s Tove Alexandersson taking the women’s title.

In the middle distance, Tim was just under 5 minutes behind Fosser in a time of 38:59. Toby, our other Kiwi in the field, was 63rd a further 2.5 minutes back. The long distance was won by Daniel Hubmann in 1:36:24 with Tim taking 1:50:34 and Toby, again in 63rd place, taking 1:54:52.
It was great to see both in the top half of the field in both distances.

Toby Scott & Tim Robertson were not in the camera

Toby Scott & Tim Robertson were not in the camera in the Orienteering World Cup Live middle event replay. But we could see it was a course that criss-crossed all over a compact and complex forest area. There were a lot of controls differing in length, and chopping and changing in direction, with a 300m of climb overall. In a competitive field of 140, Tim finished 36th +4.52 with Toby Scott coming in 63rd +7.18

The long distance is on tonight for our viewing. Toby's Swiss time 12.20 will be at 11.20pm tonight, and Tim's time of 15.26 is 2.26am tomorrow morning in NZDT. Good luck.

BLACK IS BACK | W16 had 3 teams on the podium cre

BLACK IS BACK | W16 had 3 teams on the podium creating a sea of black with hint of purple and a fourth team waiting in the wings. Not to be out done, the M16A took the top step and also 7th.

And, of course, great results in the 20E Relay with both the men & women in second place on the podium behind NSW. Then the other NZ male teams came in 5th & 7th . The Women's 20E team also behind those welsh women. Unfortunately our second women's NZ team mispunched.

More notable highlights was the 14A in both mens and women with 1st place in M14A and in the W14A.

Then the placings started to go higher with the ages...
Strewth! What an end to a fantastic competition. We'll be back!
Teams noted in detail on facebook, and maps to come.

HOLY SMOKE! | Well you would be wondering if it was the Australian champs just looking at the W16A results, I think we can spot 2 Aussies in the top 10 for that grade. There have been quite a few good results in many grades, so here is a wrap-up of those in the top ten for the long event yesterday. Watch out for those young women storming up the chart.

The Orienteering World Cup relay was 18 controls w

The Orienteering World Cup relay was 18 controls with a climb of 280m in just under 5km. The event as situated in the mountains of the eastern and German speaking parts of Switzerland. The two towns of Davos and Klosters are in the valley, with peaks reaching to 3000 meters above sea level. Strong legs were required for the hills with steep and scramble terrain but good visibility despite hovering clouds

This is excellent training for @tim95robertson and Toby Scott to get into the terrain without too much pressure. Tim and Toby were in the Mixed 7 team with Teodor Yordanov from Bulgaria.
For leg 1 and Teodor came in quite far back in 42nd place +8.50, Tim in leg 2 jumped up the placing to come in 35th +14.26 and in leg 3 Toby Scott jumped a few more places finishing in 32nd +24.23.
The GPS is available to see their route. It looks like Tim and Toby had good runs without many mistakes.

The Middle event tonight at 21.50 (NZ time) will be live and a good watch:

The final round of the IOF World Cup is in Davos K

The final round of the IOF World Cup is in Davos Klosters in Switzerland. Both Toby Scott and Tim Robertson will be representing NZ.

It's time to get to know our other NZ team member a bit more. Toby Scott recently won a silver placing in a trail run. He placed second in the 100km Ultra race Mullerthal race in September. With over 2,719m altitude in that race, we are sure the altitude in Switzerland will not be a problem.

We expect the forest long event will be a good enough length to challenge Toby as a long distance runner.

The ornate italianate residence of Rupertswood tow

The ornate italianate residence of Rupertswood towered over the Australian Sprint Championships in Sunbury – except maybe one tall orienteer who seems to tower over everything.
🗼
Rupertswood mansion is the site of the ashes. A tiny terracotta urnwas presented jokingly to Ivo Bligh, the captain of the English touring team in 1882-83 after the defeat of England. The sign on the wicket is a mock obituary notice for British Cricket with appeared in the London “Sporting Times”. But enough about cricket, back to orienteering….
🏃🏃‍♀️
The Sprint champs yesterday was held around the historic buildings and Salesian College . Some of the team found fancy attire perhaps with the the pressure of the school champs behind them. The results show they are not slacking.
🏃‍♀️
In the Men's 20 elite Felix came in fourth, 52 seconds behind the winner Alvin Craig who came in at 13.37 with Zefa only 3 second behind Felix. In the Women's 20 NZ took the first top three places with Zara first in 13.37mins, and Molly McGowan 11 seconds behind Zara and Kaia slipping in in third place 21 seconds behind
🪨
A visit to Hanging Rock was on the way back to camp. There was no picnic, and all orienteers are accounted for, despite them mysteriously disappearing and investigating every inch of the place.
