The Swiss team closed its
participation in the FootO World Cup Round 1 2016 with a tasty
victory by narrow 4 seconds over Sweden. In a Sprint Relay
hardly contested, held in Trzebnica, Poland, the Danish team finished
third.
Judith Wyder ran an impressive first
leg in 15:29, giving to Switzerland a 3 seconds lead over Russia and
8 seconds over Sweden. On the second leg, Andreas Kyburz was the
fastest again and the Swiss team reached the first half of the race
with a good lead of 39 seconds on Sweden. In the third leg, Sweden
shortened to 35 seconds the distance to the Swiss team, after a tight
fight between Matthias Kyburz and Jonas Leandersson. Helena Jansson
did an amazing race on the last leg, achieving the best partial time
with an advantage of 31 seconds over the Swiss Rahel Friederich,
however insufficient to get the win.
With Soren Bobach and Maja Alm
performing really well in the second half of the race, the Denmark,
World Champion currently, finished third 30 seconds after the
winners. Russia and Norway were fourth and fifth, while Poland
reached a well celebrated place on the podium, being sixth. The Foot
World Cup 2016's next round will be within three weeks, with the
European Championships taking place in the Czech Republic.
