Junior European Cup

The Belgian junior team arrived in France without any problems. Only Adriaan Pelckmans stayed at home because he's ill. Today the sprint distance will take place in the village (20%) and surrounding(80%) of Nant (on a plateau with lots of fields, stones and walls). The juniors are grouped in 4 classes: W18 (2,2km), M18 (2,6km), W20(2,2km) and M20 (2,6km). The distance will be the same, but runners18 and runners20 will have different courses. Tommorow the athletes will run a long distance close to Cornus, and on sunday the relay (combined 18's and 20's) will take place in this same area.
If we take a look at the startlist, especially Norway has a strong team. In the past they often run with unknown runners, but this time they selected a good team. They even trained already 4 days in Clermont-Ferrand last days. Also Danmark, Czech Republic, France and Russia have some strong runners in their team. In total 15 nations will participate in this European Championship under-20.
At the same time and same place, the O-Larzac takes place. So other famous runners like Thierry Gueorgiou, Damien Renard, Francois Gonon, Rasmus Djurhuus, Capucine Vercellotti and Celine Dodin will run on these maps too. (Map Modelevent)
