Home athlete Matthias Kyburz won one of the three men’s heats for tomorrow’s knockout sprint at the European Orienteering Championships in Neuchâtel.
The 31-year-old Kyburz, who has five world and five European titles, finished the 3.1 kilometres course at St-Blaise, which involved a 55-metres climb, in 10min 30sec to go forward as one of the strong favourites to tomorrow’s 36-strong final.
The two other men’s heats winners were Belgium’s Yannick Michels, who clocked 10:38, and Kasper Fosser of Norway who finished in 10:37.
Elena Roos, who was in the Swiss team with Kyburz that won yesterday’s opening sprint relay event, was the fastest winner in the women’s heats, clocking 11:24.
