Graham Gristwood, a TASS Orienteer took a Bronze medal at the World University Orienteering Championships middle distance competition in Borlänge, Sweden (July 2010). After describing a really bad start to the race, he was the fastest over the last 3/4 of the race and pulled back up into 3rd place, just under 1 minute behind. This was an especially good result considering the mistake early on. He described his disappointment of the day before where he finished 12th place in the sprint distance, which his bronze medal makes up for! This gives Graham a really good platform for the World Championships in 2 weeks.
A month ago, Graham was also 5th in a sprint distance World Cup race in Stockholm - which was his best individual World Cup result.
