IOF's O-Zine 3-2010
International Orienteering Federation On-line Newsletter Issue 3 – September 2010 Elite ski orienteers support change and innovation PHOTO: PIRJO VALJANEN PIRJO PHOTO: BY ERIK BORG Eivind Tonna is convinced ski orienteering would provide added value to the Olympic Winter Games. – The recently introduced sprint and mixed sprint relay formats would suit the Olympic program very well. GPS tracking and biometric data bring the drama of the competition to spectators and media and the events fit nicely into a 45-minute TV broadcast, Eivind Tonna says. He is a top athlete and the leader of the IOF Athletes’ Commission in Ski Orienteering. The IOF has applied for ski orienteering to be included in the programme of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games featuring sprint and mixed sprint relay, with two athletes of each gender. – I can't really see any other sports that can be better candidates than ski orienteering but hard work is needed to succeed. I will do my utmost to promote ski orienteering in the best way I can. Eivind Tonna is the chairman of the Ski Orienteering Athletes’ Commission. In this issue In this issue: Elite ski orienteers support change and innovation; Working together for orienteering of tomorrow; Fercho is work- ing hard for orienteering and The World Games; South Africa – High ambitions with the help of schools; Thierry Gueorgiou: “I enjoy sharing training experiences”; World Ranking, Top 10; News in brief.

Introduction The 25th World Orienteering Championships took place in the Czech Republic from 10th to 20th July 2008. The City of Olomouc was the Event Centre. The vision of the organisers was „WOC For All“, and this motto threaded through the entire organisation team and was successfully realised. The Czech Orienteering Federation was awarded the organisation of WOC 2008 at the IOF General Assembly held in September 2004 in Sweden. The preparation work started at the same time. During the period that followed some members of the organising committee changed, some ideas had to be abandoned for external reasons such as lack of agreement with the forest owners or the nature protection authorities, and some other ideas had to be changed.

Sp Liberec 2011
We have asked several best world o-runners whether they are ready for competing at the World Cup in Liberec, if they prefer middle distance to long distance and also how much they favour chasing start. Here are their answers… MARIANNE ANDERSEN (NOR) “I have been in Czech Republic several times since I was a junior, but now I haven't been there since WOC2008, and I am really looking forward to compete in Czech terrains again. I like both middle and long with chasing start, but this year I will probably only run the middle distance because I am still building up after Achilles tendon surgery earlier this year.” HEIDI BAGSTEVOLD (NOR) “I'm coming to Liberec, and I'm looking forward to compete in the Czech terrain. Last year I ran Euro- meeting in Turnov and I enjoyed the orienteering there. It was technical demanding, and that suits me well. I prefer individual start in orienteering, but if I have to choose I prefer long with a chasing start.” ANNI-MAIJA FINCKE (FIN) “I am not sure yet if I am coming to Liberec. My painful Achilles tendon will tell it. Of course I am looking forward to run there. After slow French terrains it will be great to run in the fast Czech terrains. Hopefully. I prefer most middle distance, where you have to manage on your own. In chasing start you can win if you follow others. In the relays it is OK, but in the individual races I don´t like that.” MINNA KAUPPI (FIN) “I'm definitely coming to Liberec.
