What a start for Tove!
Posted on | July 9, 2012 | Category: Arena
Tove Alexandersson has worked to make her sprint perfect. The first event at the Junior World Orienteering Championships (JWOC) Slovakia showed that she has done that successfully.
“I have had possibilities to do well at sprint also earlier, but haven’t managed that before”, the Swede says.
The 19-year-old athlete won her 13th medal from a JWOC in the centre of Košice in the Slovak Republic. The margin was 32,5 seconds to Emma Klingeberg. Both did in fact well at senior World Championships last year.
The winner had a good race – of course – and managed this year to be concentrated all the way.
“I have learnt to not use so much power in the start. It’s important to have power to think good all the way to the finish”, Tove says.
At JWOC will she take part in everything and directly after the relay she’ll go to the World Orienteering Championships in Lausanne, Switzerland.
It was a very good sprint day for Sweden: Frida Sandberg took bronze and two of the boys where among the six best.
