Just after one week relaxing after WOC in Hungary, our team travlled to Trondheim to have a first look to WOC 2010 relevant terrain. We were in the lucky position to be allowed to join the Swiss team the entire camp. All trainings and test runs were hold together. We had courses planned by a World...

After the middle qualification I was quite confident about the middle final, although I didn’t feel as good as I wanted. But it’s not all about the feeling. I tried to focus on the technique, taking as much time for map reading as necessary. I had a promising start with no troubles. To the 9th...

I was relieved when I heard the speaker saying at the finish line that I am qualified for the final in this World Championship. It's important for me to have a successful beginning. It was the fourth time that I got the last starting time in a qualification race, what I actually like. I had a good...

Voilá, tomorrow I can start with my last competition week in Bükk Mountains for the next few months, years, forever? I don't know, but I spent a lot of time in this nice Hungarian forests since the year 2000 (preparation for JWOC). It seems that our team had a perfect preparation for this year's...

As I started very early on the second stage of 5 days of dolomites, I had no tracks this time but I still could enjoy the nice terrain with nice weather. Some hours later, heavy clouds decided to unload a lot of rain on the passo rolle. It was a nice thing to run on the open areas, between hundreds...

On the same day as JWOC Sprint final, the first day of 5 days of dolomites was organised in Italy. Already the way to the start was very challenging (2,5km with 350m climbing) and demonstrated what to expect in the forest. My focus today was clearly on orienteering instead of running max speed. The...

My goal for World Cup races in Oslo last weekend were to gain as many points as possible. Coming home with 2 was not what I was aiming for... After training in end of May in Oslo and the Model Event, I expected tricky controls with heavy runability (at least for Middle European terrain used...

Never before I was orienteering in Vorarlberg, the furthern most western region of Austria, close to the Swiss border. Last weekend the Austrian sprint championship (national competition for Switzerland) and on Sunday Swiss Middle Championship (Austria Cup) were organised in Feldkirch and...
