3rd place (!!!!!!!!!): Vegard Jarvis Westergård
26th: Damian Konotopetz
Quote from Vegard re his middle distance race:
“The race was super fun! Tried to start in a controlled way, and I think that really payed off. Running around in Chinese fields was something new, but I enjoyed it. My three week vacation here in Chine beforehand looks like a super smart decision now with how good I managed the heat. So happy to get the bronze medal!”
