2 x Czech Champions with impressive runs

Michal Smola and Dana Brozkova made two impressive runs, and both won the long distance in the World University Championships today with large margins. For Smola, it was the second WUOC victory in a row - he was defending champion from Plzen 2004. A victory in the WUOC tasted good for Smola, after being just outside the medals in the long distance at WOC in Denmark less than two weeks ago. Even if Smola did a "big" mistake of one minute, he had more than two minutes down to Swiss Matthias Merz, and with Norwegian Øystein Kvaal Østerbø winning the bronze after a very tight race against popular home runner Lukas Bartak and Norwegian Carl Waaler Kaas.

Strong champion
Brozkova won the bronze medal at the long distance in Denmark, and showed here in Plesivec that she has kept her good shape. Actually, Brozkova complained after the race that it was to short - her three and a half minute victory before Helen Bridle could have been even larger if the course had been longer! Russian Larisa Stanchenko took the third place, nearly 5 minutes behind Brozkova. Another Czech, Zdenka Stara, took the fourth place together with Seline Stadler (SUI).

Special Karst terrain
The terrain here in eastern Slovakia is a very special karst terrain, with many large depressions - and has always been loved by orienteers in this region. Now large parts of the world elite were able to try to find their way through these fascinating forests. See below for most of the men elite course from todays long distance (sorry for partly pour quality):
