Victoria Fiddick Wins Gold Medal In Finland
Bermuda resident Victoria Fiddick claimed victory in the 2012 World Masters Indoor Championships in Finland, winning the 8km cross country race. Ms Fiddick ran in two feet of snow and ice on what she called a “roller coaster four lap course” to claim the gold medal.

Well done Victoria!!!!
Indoors? These Finns must have huge stadiums! Well done anyway!
Well done to you! Not much indoor about it!
Congrats Victoria Fiddick! That is a great accomplishment and I could just imagine how those legs felt but to go out a run another long race after the 10km you’re a hero.
