Athletes from ten different nations won gold medals in today’s World Masters Championships Sprint Final in Gothenburg, Sweden. One of the most well-known names in the winners’ list is Simone Niggli.
The Swiss star who has won more gold medals in World Championships than anyone else by far – 23 in all – was 1.06 in front at the finish in class W35. Jörgen Mårtensson, now running for a Norwegian club although he represented Sweden in several World Championships and has 2 gold medals to his name, was winner in M55.
Tightest win was that by another well-known name: Peo Bengtsson, Sweden, who has introduced orienteering to very many new countries in his time, won M80 by 1 second. Oldest competitor to complete the course was Rune Haraldsson, Sweden in M95.
