jtorranc: Does it have to be the eighth control in a course for numerological reasons or is leaping over any control in a course supposed to increase one's chances of catching up with people? Best argument for using stands rather than hanging controls on trees I've ever heard :)

Andrew: Well, it depends... if they run around the control, jumping over it might be quicker. You save a few milliseconds. That's very important. Anyway, Boris said that we could jump over one control. So I did!
