| 2008-07-20 13:23:06: | 13th placing onwards at the split are POL, GER, SVK, ITA - and DEN now about 7 minutes down. |
| 2008-07-20 13:21:10: | All 3 Scandinavian countries are heading for worst-ever men's relay results here... |
| 2008-07-20 13:20:09: | No change in the order at the latest split time for positions 6 to 11. |
| 2008-07-20 13:19:19: | Gueorgiou is carrying the pace just ahead of Stevenson in the forest. |
| 2008-07-20 13:18:38: | HUN and the group behind are not getting closer, so I think the medals will be amongst the current first 5 teams in the race - FRA, GBR, RUS, SUI and CZE. |
| 2008-07-20 13:17:35: | FRA and GBR just together at the next split, and Novikov is getting a bit closer, just 1.01 down, whilst Hubmann is getting out of touch with Novikov. Hubmann is 35 secs behind Novikov at the control. CZE in 5th, 1.59 down. |
| 2008-07-20 13:12:40: | UKR 12th 4.34 down. |
| 2008-07-20 13:12:00: | SWE next, losing a bit of time, 3.41 down, then FIN Tero Fohr and Martin Binder AUT. Then NOR. |
| 2008-07-20 13:10:59: | This leg is longer than the others, 8.1-8.4 km. with 400m climb. LAT is 7th at present, 2.59 down. |
| 2008-07-20 13:09:25: | Still FRA and GBR together at the TV control, Valentin Novikov RUS chasing, 1.10 down on the leading two, and Daniel Hubmann SUI 4th 1.19 down. |
| 2008-07-20 13:08:06: | The positions 9-11 are held by NOR, SWE and FIN running together |
| 2008-07-20 13:07:18: | Please see live results for the order of countries at the 2nd changeover, we missed a few whilst sorting out the connection and a lot came in quite close together. No Nordic country in the top 8 at the moment! |
| 2008-07-20 13:06:08: | Gueorgiou has caught Stevenson up and they are running together. Can the following group catch them? |
| 2008-07-20 13:05:37: | We lost internet connection for a while, now back. |
| 2008-07-20 12:59:57: | Thierry Gueorgiou on last leg for FRA chasing Jamie Stevenson GBR 25 secs behind. |
| 2008-07-20 12:58:00: | It is 30 secs between GBR and FRA here. Both have never won gold, but both have a silver. |
| 2008-07-20 12:57:14: | SWE and NOR about 3 minutes down in 9th and 10th place. |
| 2008-07-20 12:56:23: | Apologies if as a Brit I show a bit of partiality here .... |
| 2008-07-20 12:55:54: | Damien Renard now behind Jon Duncan GBR!! by about 30 secs as they go out on the last loop, and these 2 teams have a gap over the rest. Next group is RUS, CZE, HUN and SUI but no LAT now, nor FIN who have both lost 30 secs to this group. |
| 2008-07-20 12:54:26: | Unfortunately TV has lost live coverage on the big screen at the moment. Next through the control are AUS, ROM, POL, NZL and EST. |
