– \u201cAfter the second control I felt my foot to land in a hole between rocks and\u00a0get a hard hit to the Achilles tendon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maarit Korte<\/strong> from Turku orienteerers had to drop out on the second leg of the\u00a0relay after visiting the first aid.<\/p>\n

– \u201cTwo doctors have checked my foot and both said that the Achilles tendon\u00a0is broken\u201d, fret Korte about her bad luck at the main first aid point in the\u00a0competition centre.<\/p>\n

She continued her sentence by giving warm thanks of\u00a0the help and professional care she received to her injury.<\/p>\n

– \u201cWith the help of fellow runners I was able to get to the road and further to\u00a0the closest first aid control station. From there I was transported with a\u00a0quad bike to the first aid station at the competition centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seppo Ojanen<\/p><\/div>\n

We lived typical Jukola in this case<\/h2>\n

The head of main first aid, doctor Seppo Ojanen<\/strong> tells us that injuries in lower\u00a0limbs are the most typical cases in orienteering events.<\/p>\n

– \u201cNothing more serious has happened, this is just typical Jukola we live\u00a0here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first aid points in the terrain take care of small injuries like wounds\u00a0and easy twists. During Venla relay we have two first aid points in the terrain\u00a0and during Jukola three. In the main first aid we have eight nurses and four to\u00a0six doctors working in each shift.<\/p>\n

– \u201cIn addition to that we have one additional first aid point just next to the\u00a0finish. There we can treat much of the small and easy injuries\u201d, explains\u00a0Ojanen.<\/p>\n

The most needed items in finish are cold packs<\/h2>\n

The finish area first aid was pretty quiet during Venla relay.<\/p>\n

– \u201c95% of the visitors needed a cold pack for bruises or twists. Until now\u00a0we have had around 60 visitors\u201d, says chief doctor of the first aid point at\u00a0finish Jari Myllyniemi<\/strong> when half of Venla relay was behind.<\/p>\n

Myllyniemi praised the weather conditions which are optimal for\u00a0endurance sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot too cold, meaning hypothermia or energy shortage will not hit the\u00a0runners. Not too hot either to cause exhaustion and fatigue from heat. Good\u00a0conditions reflect to our work too.\u201d<\/p>\n
