Lisa Risby from Sweden became the first winner of the Junior World Orienteering Championships 2013. She won the junior women’s long distance race in Odolov, Czech Republic today.
The Swedish girls dominated today’s 7.1 kilometres’ long distance race. Lisa Risby won 47 seconds ahead of Sara Hagström. “I really like the terrain! I love hills, so it was absolutely perfect for me. It was hard to keep the right height and I also think it was hard to choose the route choices,” the winner Risby said in the finish. The bronze medal went to Ekaterina Savkina from Russia who lost 54 seconds to Risby.
