European TrailO Championships: two gain full points on PreO Day 1

European TrailO Championships: two gain full points on PreO Day 1

Just 2 of the 127 participants in the PreO competition solved all 23 problems correctly today, and both made mistakes at the timed controls. Stig Gerdtman and Ole Jansson, Sweden lead the Open and the Paralympic classes respectively at the half-way point.

Jari Turto, Finland and Gerdtman were the only two to complete the whole course correctly, and four competitors made just one mistake on what proved to be a testing course. The four timed controls proved equally testing with only twelve competitors having all four correct; the second of the two clusters used proved particularly difficult.

Full results are on www.etoc2016.cz.

The PreO competition concludes tomorrow.
