			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sportgastein, Henndorf.- The second competition was much of a swedish-russian match for gold. After the postponing of the middle distance from Tuesday to Wednesday due to the bad weather, a marvelous blue sky, sometimes hard wind and a lot of soft and deep snow was waiting for the 200 competitors. It was also the first race for the EYOC-youngsters. Unfortunately a missing control at the girls&#8217; race caused an annullation. A new competition for the W17 will be held on Thursday.</p>
<p>Now to the results. Swedish girl Eva Svensson, the bronze medallist of the sprint race, could not be beaten in the middle distance. With a 1:30 min lead in front of Olga Trifanova from Russia, and teammate Helene Söderlund she is the new junior world champion in W20. The boys saw Taras Kashchuk from Russia as the winner after his silver medal from monday. He is by now the most successful competitor of the world championships in Salzburg. We will see if he keeps this position. Ove Sätra from Norway, who was second and Sweden&#8217;s Thomas Carlsson, the third may be two of more than 50 others, who would like to change this during the next to races. New European Youth Champion in middle distance is Mikhail Utkin from Russia, who was only 15 seconds ahead of  Yury Yazykov (BLR) and  Yuri Kazakov (RUS).</p>
<p>To secure the chance for having all races in spite of the weather, which should be bad on Thursday and much better on Friday, the organizer ASKÖ HENNDORF ORIENTEERING decided to swap the relay and the long distance.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Salzburg, Austria.- The first competition of the SKI JWOC-EYOC 2007 Salzburg, was a very competitive Sprint in Sportgastein. The weather was windy, but with bright sunshine at the start and a very cloudy sky at the end of the race. Many slopes and some &#8220;fake&#8221; controls in the open area with the gentle hills were the big challenge of the day. The orienteering was more &#8220;Foot-O&#8221; style, and those athletes, who could switch their mind faster in this direction and controlled their speed, were the winners of the day.</p>
<p>At the Womens&#8217; race Hana Hancikova (CZE) did best, winning with a 4 seconds lead in front of two Swedish girls, Helene Söderlund and Eva Svensson. The mens&#8217; race saw Olli-Markus Taivainen (FIN) as the winner, 7 seconds faster then Taras Kashchuk of Russia, and 12 seconds in front of Johan Edin from Sweden.</p>
<p>On Tuesday the middle distance race will take place in the Sportgastein area.</p>
<p>W 20  (59)     2.7 km   9 P</p>
<p>1     47 Hana Hancikova               88 Czech Republic                  12:13<br />
2     29 Helene Söderlund             87 Sweden                          12:17<br />
3     54 Eva Svensson                 87 Sweden                          12:30</p>
<p>M 20  (83)     3.0 km   12 P</p>
<p>1    169 Olli-Markus Taivainen        89 Finland                         11:49<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>3 days to go - the ski-JWOC07 Salzburg is ready! </strong></p>
<p>Salzburg, Austria.- 3 days to go, and the OK-team of the SKI JWOC - EYOC 2007 is ready for the race. Around 200 young European and Asian orienteers from 19 nations are looking forward to a speedy sprint, a highly technical middle distance, a powerful long distance and an exciting relay with high tension until the end – the spectators close to the race at the open air arena.</p>
<p>ASKÖ HENNDORF ORIENTEERING, one of Austrias most profiled orienteering event organizers, did whatever was possible in those weeks without snow and with much storm, to make this event come true. The most important question was: Will there be enough of the white gold? During the last week half a metre of snow has fallen on the Postalm (the relay and long-distance area). But unfortunately there is no snow in Faistenau and Abtenau, where Sprint and Middle should have taken place. Therefore the new area for those competitions will be – as announced a few days ago – Sportgastein.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what course setter Wolfgang Pötsch is saying about this new situation: &#8220;Our three map surveyors Martin Lejsek, Roman Horky and Daniel Lebar finished drawing the map yesterday, and JWOC director Mr. Christian Breitschädel and myself have checked out the infrastructure there over the past two days. The area is mostly open, with some gentle hills – a little romantic valley at 1700 m altitude. The mountains surrounding this valley are very impressive and high, it&#8217;s a real paradise when there is sunny weather. The new courses have been planned and we will start preparing the tracks with snow cats and scooters on Thursday. There is already a dense system with many broad and fast tracks, so making and finalising the courses should be done in less than a day.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the Postalm the organizers have been preparing the tracks for the last two days, but are unfortunately facing some other problems. On one hand there is enough snow, especially in the forest, on the other hand, however, the storm has blown away much of the snow on the higher, open parts of the Postalm. Another problem was caused by hurricane &#8220;Kyrill&#8221; in January. Some of the planned tracks have had to be cancelled because of storm damage (i.e. trees lying over the track) – many trees have been broken, or completely blown over and this has made the tracks impassable. So the course setting had to be modified, and competitors sould be warned: a short cut through the forest might be a dead end street.</p>
<p>&#8220;Problems are there to be solved&#8221;, says Christian Breitschädel, &#8220;we made everything possible to secure a WM worthy event and I&#8217;m glad to say: that worked. So now we are only looking forward to welcome the teams in our beautiful country!&#8221;</p>

<div><span class="Apple-style-span"><em>Henndorf.-</em> In etwa fünf Wochen, vom 11.-17.2.2007 findet erstmals in Österreich die Junioren-WM und die Jugend-EM im Ski-Orienteering statt. Nach der erfolgreichen Austragung der Jugend-EM im Orientierungslauf 2004 wurde der für seine professionelle Abwicklung von Großveranstaltungen bekannte ASKÖ HENNDORF ORIENTEERING auch diesmal vom Österreichischen Fachverband für Orientierungslauf beauftragt, die so genannte SKI JWOC-EYOC 2007 im Bundesland Salzburg durchzuführen. JWOC ist eine Abkürzung für »Junior World Orienteering Championships«, EYOC für »European Youth Orienteering Champion-ships«, und entspricht somit einer Junioren Weltmeisterschaft, bzw. einer Jugend Europameisterschaft im O-Sport. </span></div>
<div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /></div>
<div><img align="left" alt="Young skier" title="Young skier" style="padding-right: 10px" src="http://www.ski-jwoc2007.eu/blog/wp-content/uploads/159_5971red-B800.jpg" />Auf Langlauf-Skiern finden diese Bewerbe jährlich statt – als WM in der allgemeinen Klasse seit 1975. Ski Orienteering ist also gewissermaßen Orientierungslauf im Winter und die Basis-Sportart dafür der Langlauf in der Skating-Technik. Darin zählen viele der 2007 in Salzburg startenden Athletinnen und Athleten zu den besten weltweit. Österreichs Aushängeschild bei den Junioren-Damen, die Kärntnerin Sara Habenicht, gewann z.B. letztes Jahr den traditionellen Wasa-Lauf in Schweden in der Kategorie Damen bis 18 Jahre.</div>
<div><br class="khtml-block-placeholder" /></div>
<div>Allerdings ist »im Kreis« fahren, wie bei einem normalen Langlaufwettkampf für die olympische Disziplin Ski Orienteering zu wenig. Hier geht es darum, mit Hilfe einer am Start ausgehändigten Karte die dort eingetragene Punkte im Gelände auf einem dichten Loipennetz in der richtigen Reihenfolge anzulaufen. Und das natürlich möglichst schnell. Einzige weitere Hilfsmittel sind ein Kompass und ein elektronischer Speicherchip, der zur Kontrolle und Zeitnehmung dient. Wenn die Wettkämpfer diese Karte am Start zum ersten Mal sehen, läuft bereits die Zeit. Es gilt also, unter hohem Zeitdruck auch die richtigen Entscheidungen zu treffen. Deswegen haben nur die physisch und psychisch fitesten Teilnehmer eine Chance auf den Sieg.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>December 2006: Letztes Wochenende fand sich in Salzburg der IOF - Adviser <strong>Hansruedi Häny</strong> ein, um den Stand der Vorbereitungsarbeiten zu überprüfen und den Organisatoren noch einige Tipps und Hinweise zu geben. Hansruedi zeigte sich zufrieden mit den Stand der Dinge und zeigte sich auch von der Auswahl der Wettkampfgebiete sehr zufrieden. Vor allem zollte er den Organisatoren Hochachtung davor, die Wettkämpfe in drei verschiedenen Gebieten durchzuführen. Und Hansruedi brachte den Schnee mit.</p>

<p align="justify">Waren <strong>Wolf Eberle</strong>, der nationale Kontrollor, <strong>Wolfgang Pötsch</strong> und <strong>Wulf Scherbichler</strong> schon einen Tag vorher auf der Postalm bei noch frühlingshaften Temperaturen unterwegs um die Karte und die möglichen Loipen im Gelände zu überprüfen, setzten dann Schneefall und hochwinterliche Temperaturen ein. <strong>Mr. Häny</strong> zeigte sich von den Gebieten (Sprint Faistenau, Mitteldistanz Abtenau und Staffel/Langdistanz Postalm) sehr angetan. Da jedes Gebiet und jeder Wettkampf bahnlegungstechnisch seine Eigenheiten hat, investierte er viel Zeit in Diskussionen mit dem Bahnleger <strong>Wolfgang Pötsch</strong>, um die vorhandenen Gebiete auch optimal zu nützen.</p>
<p align="justify">Die tschechischen Kartenzeichner <strong>Martin Lejsek</strong> und <strong>Roman Horky</strong>, die bereits im Februar und März 2006 die Basisarbeit bei 3 m Schnee getan haben, sind jetzt unterwegs um die Karte an die Loipenvorschläge zu adaptieren und kleinere Korrekturen anzubringen.</p>
<p align="justify">Im gemütlichen Ambiente von Burgis Schistüberl in Abtenau wurde die weitere Vorgangsweise beschlossen – viel Arbeit wartet noch auf die Organisatoren, aber wir sind im Zeitplan.</p>
