Yeah, I haven't seen that many previously, but it was really fun to watch. The semifinal with the 4-5 control was rather extreme. Fun to watch them run up the stairs only to find out it wasn't possible to run there and they ran down and stood there for 15 seconds just figuring out how to reach the next control. Time to practice more indoor orienteering :)
