The furious race to avoid the Axeman continues at the rear. After gaining a lead over Chikyong Ha (KOR) last night, Kinga Masztalerz (NZL2) is now 1km behind the Korean. She has moved onto a different line, which is at a greater angle to the next turnpoint, and will have to race hard if she is to get ahead by 6am, when the Axeman eliminates the last-placed athlete.
