Förstärkningar ifrån Schweiz

Till Tiomila kommer inte bara Anna hem till Sverige utan vi kommer också att få förstärkningar till herrlaget.

Med Anna"s och Niklas hjälp har LOK kommit i kontakt med två landslagsmeriterade löpare i från Schweiz som kommer att springa för LOK i deras satsning mot världsmästerskapen i Sverige 2004. Vi har kommit fram till att påbörja samarbetet redan under 2003 och med Tiomilakavlen i april.

Vi hälsar härmed Denis Steinemann och Donatus Schnyder välkomna till Linköpings OK. Nedan finner ni en kortfattad presentation av de båda.

De kommer inte att spendera så mycket tid i Sverige under 2003 utan då är fokuseringen helt inriktad mot världmästerskapen på hemmaplan. Däremot kommer vi att se betydligt mer av dem under 2004.

Planen är att de skall komma ner och hälsa på oss i Lokgården, veckan före Tiomila under deras träningsläger i Västerås som arrangeras av deras förbund.

Jag hoppas att vi alla hjälps åt för att de på bästa sätt skall trivas i klubben.

Hi everybody,
my name is Denis Steinemann and I guess I am now a new clubmate of yours. As you know, Anna Mårsell is living here in Switzerland and she happens to be in the same club, OLG Säuliamt, and also lives in the same town as I do, Bonstetten. So some time ago I met Anna and Niklas and we were also discussing about the nordic relays. They showed interest in me running for LOK in the future, and since I was not happy with my club until then, Tampereen Pyrintö, I thought, well, this is a good opportunity to start something new.

I am 25 years old. I am a student in computer science at ETH Zürich, close to finished, I will do my diploma thesis next winter.

As you know, we have WOC here in Switzerland in August, so this is my primary goal for this season. For this reason, I haven"t planned on going to Scandinavia much this year, so I was hesitating to contact Martin, but Anna "kept pushing" me... Well, now here I am. At the moment, I"m in the Swiss National B-Team. Last season wasn"t very good, although I participated in World Cups in Scandinavia and Czech Republic, but 30th place was the best I was able to do. In 2001, I was at World Champs in Tampere, where I was 25th in Classic Distance. As I have said, I was running for Tampereen Pyrintö the last couple of years, in 2000 I placed 9th on the first leg in Jukola, which was a really great experience! Of course, orienteering doesn"t stop after WOC2003, and a next goal is WOC2004. For that, it would be great to have a club to train and run competitions with. So I am really planning for next year in Sweden. As I have discussed with Martin, you will not see me much this year. For sure at Tiomila and some time before, and then probably for one or two weeks in autumn.

I am looking forward to running in your team and I hope I can make a good contribution!
See you at Tiomila,

Denis

Hi there !My name is Donatus Schnyder, I"m 26 years old and I have practised orienteering since I was 10 years old. After JWOC in Rumania 1996 (5th place in Classic, 3rd place in Relay) I got into the Swiss national team. My further results you can see at www.solv.deimos.ch

Since then have I been several times in the scandinavien terrain...I have never been running nigth-orienteering in Sweden except for one time(Häxjakten 1999?) and I don"t like it very much, so I hope to get a day-leg at Tiomila...

I grew up in the north-east part of Switzerland (20 km from the WOC-center Rapperswil/Jona) but now I live in Bern. Here I"m studying sport and geography.

I"m glad to be in your team and I"m looking forward to Tiomila 2003 !!!

see you, Donatus
