Milano 11/9/98
World Cup Milan
This World Cup stage took place in the heart of the city just a few meters away from Milan's infamous railway station. It was held outdoors and after days of torrential rain many feared it would have to be cancelled completely. Sounds like a recipe for a disaster? Thankfully this wasn't entirely the case and 150 contestants got to grips with the routes set up in record time by Nardi and Lella.
The crowds loved the show but this was a strange World Cup for most - some of the Open candidates had the misfortune of meeting the "inhabitants" of the town square, the graffiti proved misleading to others and a strange sequence in the men's semi-final eliminated many of the best (including Legrand). This resulted however in some fresh faces qualifying for the final, some of whom had started from the Open!
In the women's final Sarkany set the record straight by beating Sansoz and in the men's final Yuji Hirayama dominated, ahead of Krivoshetsev and Arnaud Petit. This win and Hirayama's second place in the previous World Cup now puts him in overall first place.
