Jorgen M on too many championships
From a story at OPN.NO on the occassion of Jorgen Martensson's 50th birthday:
- Ikke minst har det blitt et altfor omfattende internasjonalt mesterskapsprogram. Det svekker i stedet for å styrke orienteringen. Jeg hadde sett det som en fordel for orienteringen om en hadde gått tilbake til to års sykluser for VM. Jeg vet at jeg har mange med meg i det synet, sier Mårtensson.
Which is basically Jorgen complaining about too many international championships and suggesting that a WOC every two years - as it was in the past - would be an improvement.
If I were the dictator of international orienteering, I'd change the WOC to every other year...but it probably wouldn't be the first thing I'd do.
