Good finish for Tero, so that's another gold and bronze for team Waitangi today. Amazing how close the top 5 were, commentators barely had time to list the members of each team before the next came in. Well done Russia, must have a long distance "leetle drink" with my Vladivostok United team-mates in honour.

Belarus slipped from 1st to middle of the 3 B's, we can maybe hope that he continues to slide, maybe Nic's prediction was right
But there's just not enough time tho is there

I think Zhuravlev's the top Belarussian, so he's unlikely to disappear the way Harish did unfortunately. I guess I'd forgotten how they'd suddenly stepped in the last few years. Used to be well amongst the "thanks for coming" countries.

OK. Paul Oz will be 13th if SVK is really out.
Wow Chris has halved the gap to the Belgian. But still not enough time unless he makes a major blue. And Chris has to watch his back too.

3.5 minutes in 2.2km? could be a bit too big an ask, but let's hope still

Hungary slipped back during the last leg and was pipped by Bulgaria by 4sec - from a 4min lead.

71 seconds to go Chris!
Hardly likely when the course is only about that long:-))

To catch Hungary, Nikolov ran a time similar to the top guys, except for Wingstedt. I knew he was good, but that good? wow.
