National cross country championship:
Today (09/03) in Oostende the best runners in Belgium met each other to fight for the victory in the national championship Cross Country. Once again some Belgian orienteers wanted to test their current shape and started in this competition.
In the long distance race the 1st place went to Tom Van Hooste, followed by an Ethiopian runner who won last year. The Belgian orienteer Quentin De Neyer became 71st. At the end he was even visible on the tvscreen (running in his Asub-outfit) because he was doubled by the leading runners.

In the short distance race youngster Kim Ruell took the victory before his teammate Pieter Rijnders. The Belgian elite O-runner Etienne Van Gasse became 12th (same result than last year), only 22 seconds behind the winner. A really nice result.
