Thank you for the great pictures of world cross country. My grand-daughter ran in the senior women's race so we were desperately looking for some photos. Incidently we live in Sydney,Australia. Melinda, who is profoundly deaf was placed 41st . Arrangements were made for her to be put in a position where she could see the starter but unfortunately a photographer stood between her and the starter and she was left standing there. She is going to France tomorrow to compete in the University cross country so we are hoping that she will have better luck this time with the start.Thank you again, we are very grateful.
