PWT Academy – O-Ringen stage 4

Stage 4
At some point we had pouring rain. Everybody was soaked today, but still smiling and completing the race 🙂

The participants of the Academy were interviewed by the local Sverige Radio where they talked about how they find the races and the terrains here, and how is orienteering in their home countries.

At the arena, we met the great Marten Bostrom ! 🤩

In the evening, we had the chance to sit with Grant Bluett, gold medal in the World Games in 2001, who shared his orienteering life with us,
and with Jenny Nilsson – Event Manager of IOF who explained the World Orienteering Day project, which will soon become WOW: World Orienteering Week!
