the suspense!! no result for Lucy from GBR either so if we go off of Barb's tweet then maybe just maybe Emily is in a bronze at the moment.

I am far too sleep deprived to handle this tension. I am positively giddy!

Samantha Saeger was 8th in the long in 1999...as far as I know that is the best.

Congratulations Emily, years of hard work paid off!!!
Also, does anybody know if the Kirsi Nurmi that won is the same one that did a high school exchange year in Edmonton in 2009/2010 because if so it would be cool to say that a former EOOC member is a world champ.

@El Chucko - well spotted. The winner indeed is a former EOOC member (according to my source, Marilyn Edmunds, who knows everything about EOOC ;-)
(I notice you could actually beat her back in those days ;-)

From Emily's profile..
"What are your 2012 orienteering goals?
To go all out for the top 6 finish at JWOC in Slovakia this year…"
Mission accomplished

Pretty perfect day then, a former EOOC member and a Canadian in the top 3. Congratulations to all!

Also AZ you are right I have stayed the same speed while Kirsi and Emily keep getting faster

Go ahead and bask in the glory you've earned today. Then, look at the splits and realize that you beat the winner on several of your legs, so set your sights high in the days ahead. You've got what it takes.

Great run!
Thanks for the links to the maps and analysis.
The terrain is so reminiscent of Kettle Moraine in Southern Wisconsin. It offers so many big holes to read - which also makes relocation SO hard. The 3 distinct vegetation types only added to the challenge. The men had a fork, the women did not - interesting.

Listen to Emily on CBC Ottawa (the archived interview should be on the right).
No word on the medal ceremony. I'm assuming they'll put it with the middle one?

Emily Ross said they needed to buy lipstick and learn how to make wreaths ;)

See if you can find some maple leaves for Emily's wreath. So awesome.

Good to see this getting press, and enjoyed the CBC Ottawa radio interview. I know the OOC has done a good job of getting coverage in the past, glad to see it continue.

Read an interview with World Champion Thierry Gueorgiou about his reaction to Emily Kemp's JWOC bronze medal on the Team Canada Blog.
Thanks to Hammer for the great interview!

What a great interview! Everyone should go like it over at World of O because with the time zones our articles seem to get a bit buried.

another fine result though I suspect she will have had higher goals. will be curious to see the splits and maps as it doesnt appear anybody ran clean either that or Tove started slowly to get her confidence back. well done Emily and Molly.

Emily...I cannot imagine the pressure you felt today. Congratulations on putting a solid run in! Be proud!

Two Canadians in the A final. A great day for Canada. Congrats! I'm looking forward to seeing the splits and maps too...looked like a lot of people were fumbling out there.

Another non-European medal though in the mens'. Gold at that.

I can imagine all the Swedish women breathing a huge sigh of relief when Emily crossed the finish line today. Emily has made her mark on international orienteering and she will be a contender for the podium from now on. Looks like a good run today except for a possible mistake on one control. Will be interested in seeing the splits and hearing from the Kempster about her race--two sisters in the A final. Must have been a thrill. Thanks for making all of us so proud, Miss Emily. And Molly, congratulations on making the A final. Your time is respectable and shows that the Kemps are a force to be reckoned with.
