Holy cow! 21 entries! All the top runs used pretty much the same route, with those that found the annoying slope jump just edging out those that didn't. Congratulations to Martin Selinus who made his return to speedrunning in just about the most dramatic fashion possible. All Easy Run demos (without .txt files) available HERE.

Some really good routes made this a very exiting contest to watch, but it was the 100% master, Thomas Stubgaard, who took the top spot in a stunning display of skills. And why is Weixing's time so much slower than the others? He decided to do the demo using only the axe. :-) All Easy 100% demos (without .txt files) available HERE.

An incredibly close and hard fought contest that saw quite a variation in the routes used. But Anders was once again edged into second place, this time by an outstanding run from Robert Axelsson. All Nightmare Run demos (without .txt files) available HERE.

By far the hardest discipline to get a clean run on, but that didn't stop it being a hard fought battle. But who would want to bet against Thomas Stubgaard in a Nightmare 100% arse-kicking contest? All Nightmare 100% demos (without .txt files) available HERE.

That just about wraps things up for this first leg of the 2003 Championship. Congratulations to Martin, Thomas and Robert on their wins. And I'd also like to raise a huge cheer for everyone else that took part. CHEERS! To see how this leaves the leader board take a look HERE.

We also received some coop demos from Carl Tholin, Daniel Hansson and newcomer Pezzer Mattson. They're available HERE. The four winning demos are available HERE and, finally, all demos and text files can be downloaded HERE.

Bone!
