When 2 Dutch girls fight for Gold, a cool Belgian Girl runs away with it!! But the star of the show was Justine Ghekiere, the only other surviving Belgian, who neutralised the Dutch bickering stars!! Ireland’s Fiona Mangan survived this grueling race with a determent effort, the sisters O’Brien didn’t, but they have given it all, so chapeau girls!! (Zurich/Sat 28th Sept)
