I had to check the publication date wasn’t April 1st! This along with all the other richly comic aspects of the sport has just made me realise its potential as the subject of a six part TV dramatisation/ satire, say. Focussing on the dream of the chair of a small UK O club to bring the format over from Scandi, but this time with predictably disastrous consequences for competitor and Ikea customer alike!
Any production team interested has the offer of my services as an O specialist.

My favourite quote from the article is:
Some people were of course really bothered how they could make a ten-minute mistake amongst beds and sofas
Pity they can’t bring back the unflappable Dale Winton RIP to interpret the mayhem
Perhaps elite runners should be handicapped by having to push a trolley with a wonky wheel!
