Monday, September 13, 2004 Norwegian goals at WOCO-Nett reported on the Norwegian runners' goals for WOC. I'm interested in goals and motivation, so I was interested to see what the runners had to say. I translated a bit of the article.Here are the goals for all the Norwegians: Elisabeth Ingvaldsen: Medal in the relay. Hanne Staff: To have good runs and I hope to fight for gold. Marianne Andersen: Focus on good runs, then I'll see how far I can go. I want to do better than last year. Birgitte Husebye: In my preparations I've set out a strategy that I hope to follow and that will, hopefully, lead to good results. Anne Margrethe Hausken: I to do what I can and do better than my 6th place last year. Lina Hagman: Run good races technically and perform to what I can. Holger Hott Johansen: I want to go home from the WOC with two races without booms. I hope, and believe, I can medal. Bjornar Valstad: Have fun [I'm not quite sure if I've translated it quite right] and complete a top competition. Hans Gunnar Omdal: I've never run a WOC before, so I don't have a point of reference. But to finish in the top ten is a realistic goal. Oystein Kristiansen: I want to go hunting Tuesday after the WOC with a good feeling. Then I'll be satisfied. [Kristiansen says he's going "rype" hunting. I think that is some sort of animal, but I don't know what] Anders Nordberg: I've got as a goal to be in the top six. Jorgen Rostrup: I'm not in the sport to finish second. My apologies if I've mistranslated any of these. My Norwegian is certainly a lot rougher than my Swedish. posted by Michael | 7:49 PM
