World of O News
Enough is enough: After 23 WOC gold medals and countless top races in orienteering, Simone Niggli today announced that she retires from elite orienteering. World of O thanks Niggli warmly for all the great moments she has given us throughout the years.
– The motivation for races in the summer is there – the motivation for winter training and everything around on the other hand less, Niggli writes on her webpage.
With this announcement the elite career of one of the greatest orienteers ever comes to an end. Niggli will finish her elite career at the World Cup final in Switzerland the coming weekend, were she will fight for the overall World Cup victory. In this article photos from some of the great moments in Niggli’s career are gathered.
