X is for ????
X? X? What could X be for?
Then it hit me, X is for Xylander. Anke Xylander, the German national team orienteer.
I went over to the IOF world ranking list and found out:
Anke Xylander is ranked 49th. That makes her the second best ranked German (behind Karen Schmalendield, who is currently ranked 15).
She's ranked 49th in the world, but since she runs for a Swedish club (Soders SOL Tyreso), I thought I'd check her Swedish ranking. In Sweden, she's currently ranked 91 in F21.
A google search turned up some O' videos that include shots of Xylander. By the way, if you go to the O' video page, check out the last one on the page showing the photo finish between Hanne Staff and Gunilla Svard in the 2001 relay.
