It's very tough, but I wouldn't say it's too har or impossible. It's possible to get around safely and in good time.

 

This very much looks like some 20th century course, when XC was usually tougher than these days.

Burton clear and inside the time! Very well done, flying start for Australia

Refusal for Fox-Pitt at ski jump!!!

 

I think GB is out now.
