Note
Finished watching all of WOC. Was nice to see Team USA out there sometimes, plus all the other amazing orienteers. Found myself really rooting for Alex and Emily Kemp with how close they were to breaking through! Men's Long was really fascinating, including that super long route choice.
On the down side, I was a bit disappointed that the male WOC TV announcer referred to a Latvian orienteer on the men's Long as a "distraction" when he was shown on the footage as well as some other comments about others ("loser" was another one). Just being in WOC is a huge feat in itself, it is the "World" championships, not just the top-5, and now I'm even more curious about the Latvian runner and what his story is as I'm sure just about every athlete competing has something interesting about them that could be mentioned. I didn't see it as a distraction at all and I think the sportsman-like thing to do is to treat every athlete competing with respect. I get that we don't have time to show footage of every athlete, and the top runners will get more attention and deservedly so, but I don't think it's very sportsmanlike to call a fellow orienteer a "distraction" or "loser", but maybe that's just me. When I worked media relations for SLOC at the 2002 Olympics, we took an approach that recognized the value and "fire within" every single athlete and we tried to bring their inspiring stories out no matter who they were, what country they were from, or what their ranking. I think that's a good attitude to have all around including in this sport.

Orienteering 1:06:00 [3] *** 5.6 km (11:47 / km) +35m 11:26 / km
shoes: Adidas
Forest run. 90+ deg, 90+ humidity, face full of spider web x4, emerged from forest and attempted to jump gap in fence over knee high chain between gates, toe got caught, crashed down, but remembered mid-air a tidbit from my Korean military martial arts instructor "ROLL!", so I rolled thereby averting injury and got back up and ran off...guy that walked by said "You want it bad, bro, you want it BAD!" :)
