Thierry Gueorgiou is not taking part in the final race in World Cup this year. However, the 13 times World Champion is now sure about his future with map and compass. At WOC in Scotland he wasn’t sure about the future. – If I were to decide just now I would probably stop, he said […]
10/08/2015 || Felt pain, just ran, took gold ||Arena||
In March Ida Bobach got rid of her injuries, but in the last couple of days before the Long at WOC she was again a little unfit. Already in France in 2011, as a last year junior, Ida Bobach took her first WOC medal as a senior. As a junior she’s the athlete with the […]
10/08/2015 || Will Thierry continue? ||Arena||
Thierry Gueorgiou won his 13th WOC gold in the Long Distance on Friday. One big question is if he will go for another WOC. Thierry didn’t have the best feeling in the start of the race, and made some small mistakes in the early part of the course, but things changed. “It went better and […]
10/08/2015 || Basset: “Not at all expected” ||Arena||
A lot of the very experienced did very well at the Championships, but there are also new stars. Lucas Bassett did much better than expected.

He ran very well […]
05/08/2015 || Hubmann: “This was a real Relay gold” ||Arena||
Daniel Hubmann won his second Relay gold at WOC, but there’s a big, big difference in the two victories. In 2009 Daniel got the gold together with Matthias Merz and Baptiste Rollier.

05/08/2015 || Danes had practiced for something they didn’t get! ||Arena||
For months the Danes have been training to do well in the Relay, but in some ways the Relay wasn’t what they have been training for. Already on the first leg Maja Alm set up a gap. She was several minutes in front of the second one to the first changeover. The Relay looked as […]
05/08/2015 || Hubmann: “A very special gold” ||Arena||
