Congratulation! Scott Fraser won a silver in the 3,9 km. sprint for men, World Orienteering Championships, Vuokatti, Finland.

The winner was Mårten Boström, Finland, and Jonas Leandersson, Sweden, got the bronze.

And Tessa Hill, GBR, came fifth in the 3,4 km. sprint for women, where Simone Niggli, Switzerland, won her 21:th gold!

I'm happy if I can say more or less were I probably am on a map , so I find it pretty impressive with people who not only can see where they are on a map, without mostly do it whilst they're running too!

That is the problem for some sports, to get mentioned in the news

. But it is a quite popular sport in Sweden , so even though media usually focus on football and ice hockey, Swedish Television sent in on TV and SVT Play, http://www.svtplay.se/video/1332390/orientering-vm, it does say in the Swedish info that it is "viewable" for 1 month + all over the world, so if you can view it, Scott Fraser started around 00:45:10, then he is seen at least at 00:52:33 too, and from 00:59:06 and until he crosses the finish line at around 00:59:51.
