I.e. if Olav is on average 8% faster than competitor X, then X probably had a very good route choice when he was just 3-5% behind on a given leg. From the TV coverage the huge difference was in "broken field running" as well as very fast in&out of every control. Among the women only Niggli floated through the terrain in the same way as Lundanes.

Most important is maybe to choose fast and follow your choice with really high speed. Seems like Lundanes and Niggli/Kauppi is faster even when they choose “wrong”?
