The same arena was used today and apart from the increased focus on course selection, it was a steep and demanding orienteering course in the central Hungarian forest with many details to keep an eye on. From the last starting position, Tove Alexandersson put on a show on the women's course of 10.8 kilometres and 630 metres of climbing. 

Only Norway's Andrine Benjaminsen had a similarly split time after the first long section. On the following north loop, Alexandersson went straight through all the controls at a faster pace, paving the way for her victory. 

She caught a group with Benjaminsen, Simona Aebersold and Natalia Gemperle, from Switzerland, on the long section from control 14 to 15, and passed them on the final loop. 

Behind her, Saturday's winner Simona Aebersold was over four minutes slower, while Benjaminsen took bronze for the second day in a row, 6.51 minutes behind Alexandersson.  

Switzerland's Natalia Gemperle was more than four minutes behind in fourth and Estonia's Evely Kaasiku and Norway's Kamilla Steiwer were just ten seconds apart in fifth and sixth. It was Alexandersson's tenth EOC gold medal and her third long-distance title, having also won it in 2018 and 2016.

Like Alexandersson, Norway's Kasper Fosser lived up to his favourite status, starting last in the men's race with 13.9 kilometres and 850 metres of climbing ahead of him. Saturday's silver medallist maintained a high speed, taking fast routes throughout the course and continually extending his lead. 

At checkpoint 13, Fosser finally caught Emil Svensk of Sweden, who had started six minutes earlier and lost some time early on. After running together for a while, Svensk overtook Fosser in the end to finish in fourth position. 

For a long time, Fabian Aebersold of Switzerland and Viktor Svensk of Sweden were in contention for a medal as they both had faster split times than Daniel Hubmann of Switzerland and Miika Kirmula of Finland after 79 minutes of running. 

However, they both lost time in the final controls and Hubmann took silver (3:44 behind Fosser) and Kirmula taking bronze (50 seconds behind). Aebersold and V. Svensk had to settle for fifth and sixth place. 

It's the first individual EOC victory for Fosser, who holds the long distance title from the last two World Championships. Hubmann's silver comes 18 years after he won his first EOC medal, also on the long distance.
