– It has been much calmer than usual, says doctor Leena Uusitalo, who has a long experience from helping out at Jukola relays over the years.<\/p>\n
During the day, around 60 persons have been taken care of by medical staff on site. The staff even had time to follow the exciting Venla relay.<\/p>\n
Some runners have been transported out of the forest and a couple of orienteers even needed to be taken to the main hospital for further care.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, most patients have been orienteers fallen down in the forest. Many of them needed Suspensory bandages.<\/p>\n
At night, a different scenario is to be expected, remarks Ky\u00f6sti Haataja, vice medical head ot the event.<\/p>\n
– We are dealing with a long and wet course of 16 km. We expect many orienteers to spend around 4 hours in the forest. They can be tired and have cold, Ky\u00f6sti Haataja estimates.<\/p>\n
According to Ky\u00f6sti Haataja, they are well prepared to transport those injured or exhausted back to the competition center.<\/p>\n
