How did they time her 1 full second down.... THAT seems impossible.
Give the title to the Kenyan!!! We imagine many US visitor will be getting up a bit late and likely missed the junior race. In it, the Kenyan who hit the tape first below was somehow placed 3rd - 1 second back.

Speaking of VIking power. Has anyone seen the Vikings on the course? I missed the mixed relay but watched the jr women's race and didn't see them.
Wow, well done BBC. You've got a course set up to make xc seem fresh and exciting and you cut away to show a piece on some elitest alternate fox hunting origins!

Yeah that finish is absolute bullshiz.
Chebet won.
But MAN, that scene at the finish is what XC is all about, man. You see it all the time at lower level races, but these quality runners are very rarely reduced to such rubble. Amazing to watch.
+1
Interesting to see 'fast' runners jogging slowly up the roof on the last lap, recording very slow times for 6k.
On tapegate, there would have to be a side camera! Can't rely on the volunteers holding the tape to have it in exactly the right place.
"And may the devil take the hindmost" This is great.
6.3k is the longest competition Jakob has run.
Today it is 8k.
Good news to report. Just heard from the boots on the ground in Denmark. The results have been changed!!

CHEBET THOUGH!!!!!!
FTW!!!!!
Chebet has been upgraded quite rightly
Chebet given gold.
chebet got gold. it is official.
Decision reversed. Beatrice Chebet gets her gold medal. First? for Kenya.
Haha, Ingebrigsten is so cocky... he's surrounded by an ocean of Kenyans, Ethiopians, and Ugandans but still elbowing away. That could backfire!
Dude, at least my guy is at the race and putting himself out there.
Ingebrigsten already off the pace or gambling that they are going out too hard?
My bad... he already caught back up. Maybe he was just calling bs on a surge.
COME ON JAKOB!!!
How many times can the commentators refer to the "lone Ugandan" when there are 4 of them in the lead pack?
Norwegian dude to finish top 15 in junior race?
Looks like he is not pushing the hills, but rather keep the intensity even.
But this is not easy. Lots of good runners.
Hopefully more and more runners will fall off and the will still be there
