Great performances in the qualifiers propelled 13 Australians into the A finals of the Long Distance race at the World Masters this week. After some racing on magnificent limestone sink-hole terrain, the competition in qualifier race 2 finished leaving the Australians with some real chances for medals. Australia has Susanne Casanova in W35 who finished in 2nd place after two qualifying races, and Jim Russell whose combined result put him in 3rd in M50. Susanne is joined in her final by Jenny Casanova who qualified in 10th, and there are also chances for Herman Wehner (M85), Paul Adrian(M90), Ann Ingwersen (W65), John Hodson (M70) and two in M40 with Blair Trewin and Paul Liggins.
