Lizzie Adams (SOC) started well at her first Junior World Orienteering Championships by qualifying for the final of the middle distance race in which she then came 48th. The classic didn't go so well as she just made it into the top 100. Lizzie then ran again in relays forming a team with Liz Bridge and Helen Gardner.
Full results can be found on the JWOC site. Look out for fellow Brit Alison O'Neil's excellent performances - 4th in the middle distance and a bronze medal in the classic.
