Yet another Tasmanian has shown their prowess on the international stage with rookie  team member Brodie Nankervis doing well to finish 40th, and the first Australian, in the tough JWOC long distance event.    Ollie Poland, Oscar McNulty and Ian Lawford all improved on their places from last year with solid results in the first half of the field.  Queenslander Heather Muir was our best girl.  It was a day that produced many DNF’s, including 19 in the men, so it was pleasing to see that all our runners pushed through to the finish.

The outstanding result of the day was the success of Canadian junior Emily Kemp, who won the bronze medal, in what is the first World Championship medal for that country.   This was not totally unexpected as she had been placed 12th in this event last year, and had run a good WOC relay leg in 2011.     The New Zealanders also had some great results, especially in the boys, with three in the top thirty.

There is great coverage of maps and race analysis on World of O.   Also a good update on the Australian blog site above*.
