I've now managed to get all of the WOC relay results in to the Maprunner WOC Database. The individual runners from each team are still missing, but all the team results are there. There has been quite a lot of interest from around the world, so I'll keep adding things when I have time.A few interesting things I spotted whilst getting the relay result queries to work:
- Great Britain had their worst-ever relay results for both Men and Women in Denmark 2006.
- No Swedish relay team has ever finished lower than 4th (discounting disqualifications in 1997 and 2001), and they have won 41 medals out of a possible 46: truly staggering. At least I assume the Swedish men were disqualified in 2001 in Finland, since they don't appear at all on the results list on the IOF web site.
- Five countries have won 128 relay medals between them. That's over 92% of the possible medals. Five further countries have won the remaining 10 medals.(Try naming these 10 countries before looking up the answer here.)

Thanks for adding the relays.
Regarding Sweden in 2001, I think that they did not finish. Someone (Jimmy Birklin?) hurt himself on the course and couldn't finish.
