GB Orienteering Squad member Heather Monro wins Super Elite
at O-Ringen
Heather Monro, member of the GB team for the World Orienteering
Championships showed her form in winning the super elite class
at Sweden's showpiece orienteering event, the O-Ringen, which
regularly attracts over 10,000 competitors.
Lying in third place overall after the first four days in
which she finished 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 5th, she started final
day in a chasing start over 4 minutes down on the leader.
Surprising herself she overtook the two earlier starters to
win by over a minute.
This result will be a great boost for the British Team, due
to depart shortly for the World Championships in Switzerland
3 - 9 August where Heather will be competing in the Long,
Middle and Relay Competitions.
