Garry managed to finish best of the South Africans in Heat C, with a time of 13.38 over the 2.9km course. The winner, Daniel Hubmann of Switzerland, took 10.58, with the 15th placed runner (last qualification spot) only a further 43 seconds behind! The 108% of the winner time required for qualification was the result of very fast and easy courses.
The Sprint final will be held later this evening in the town of Olomouc, where a more technical course is expected.

Overall the team are happy with their results. Eugene has had a bit of a cold for the last few days so it disappointed that his lungs didn't hold out on the latter half of the course. Paul is thrilled that he wasn't the slowest male out there today!
