The only way this course could be more perfect is if they had to hop that log at the end of the water section.

 

 

it's clearly a water section in an equestrian cross-country course :evil:

 

they're lucky that they at least removed the fences to jump over :lol: :p

Honestly, cross country courses should have stuff like that. The manicured golf course races are basically just glorified road races.

 

There should be hills, mud, water, jumps, rocky bits, etc.

Isn't the World Cross Country Championships supposed to be on in odds years? The next two hosts are 2024, 2026. Anyone know why they changed?

Looking back, it always used to be annual, I suppose it got out of sync because of the lack of willing hosts and COVID.

In British CC we always stage the age group races before the main event. So the under-12s get the advantage of the clear, grassy conditions and the international elite athletes have to wade through conditions that would likely drown sheep.

The worlds in Denmark a few years back had a magnificent hill, so steep it felt like the Ventoux in the 2013 Tour de France, just watching elite athletes go 'out the back' - it was fabulous, and a lovely different look for athletics...
