Central Coast's Felicity Brown was the leading Australian in the WOC sprint final overnight. After the 'Groundhog Day' feel of the qualification races through a holiday park with many identical cabins, the final was run through the town of Sotkamo with the start and finish in the local baseball stadium. The crowd? A mere 5,000 !
Felicity finished 31st in 16m53.8s, one place ahead of fellow Aussie Vanessa Round. The winner was hot favourite Simone Niggli of Switzerland who covered the 3.4km in 14m10.6s !
Tonight it's the long (and we mean very long) finals. Read more on the Boomerangs' team blog and follow the results online.
