Discussion: JWOC winners?

Now when we have seen the teams for jwoc maybe it's time to guess who will win. I think that the scandinavian countries will take most of the medals this year.

Here's my tip:

Men
Long: Timo Sild, Estonia
Middle: Olli-Marcus Taivainen, Finland
Sprint: Jerker Lysell, Sweden
Relay: Norway

Women
Long: Maja Alm, Denmark
Middle: Siri Ulvestad, Norway
Sprint: Jenny Lönnkvist, Sweden
Relay: Sweden

Your guesses sound very good, but I know next to nothing about teams like Russia, Switzerland, and a few other strong countries. I should think that Beata Falk has a chance against Jenny in the sprint, but Jenny could be a favorite in the middle. Stepan Kodeda can challenge Jerker in the sprint, I'd think, and Eric Sagvolden can be very good in the long.

Yes, as always at jwoc there's a lot of good runners and I think that there's a couple of people that has the capacity to win. I think that the men's long distance will be the most interesting with runners like Taivainen (Fin), Sagvolden (Nor), Sild (Est), Boström (Swe) and Runesson (Swe).

But there's a lot of countries whose runners I don't know much about so I think it can be an interesting week.

Moook as an outside chance of a placing in sprint.

Johan Runesson owned everyone! xD

it was sad but the dude is a hell of an orienteer. A small mistake in the sprint cost him the the chance of 4 gold. But seriously 4 medals in one week is good going.
