Ross Morrison (Hawke's Bay) and Chris Forne (PAPO) have both qualified for the Sprint Final at the World Orienteering Championships in Ukraine.

Morrison timed his run to perfection, placing 15th in his heat, of which only 15 head through to the final.  Forne placed 11th in his heat.

Missing out on the finals was Rob Jessop (Auckland) and Tania Robinson (Counties Manukau).  Robinson lost time early on in her course.

The final is to be held in the latter part of the WOC week.
